upgrade frenzy

i'll keep it anyway - it sounds pretty good to me either way. If i get twitchy about it i'll talk to aadvark audio

I'm pretty sure i've got the wiring sorted, speaker cables in the pos/neg marked mono and both buttons pressed.

btw i've got a new cart - AToc9

tony next time you're in town do pop in

I take it these are your mod's rather than a factory approved upgrade

 

Kev,
Mr Bleeker doing mods? you jest surely?, I wonder why they uprated the caps on the output stage for the later chipset that has the ability to drive 16 ohms? answers on a post card
No I mean a natural progession, taking an already fairly good design, and improving, without the restrictions of the ' build cost option'. Plus a few new techniques applied.
Though I have built some rather spanking (If I do say so my self ) mono block versions, I've just being applying the same sorts of enhancements to the B/C with surprising results, and just for Dat I haven't changed the opamps yet either!
Though I will say getting 240K's worth proper caps in there was slightly more than a straight fit
Though as your mid band man, maybe the spectral musician is more your bag, cheap too (I that appeals to you) $2800 stateside bags of balls too

 

Evo 4 available for $2600 new 240V, I've done one or 2 Gen II's Kev, though they have a 4 layer board which can make things rather tricky when wanting to remove stuff
The upped cap spec because of a (Alleged tendanies) to go into a state of flux I Believe . They even changed the pin configuration on the very lastest chipset and 'forgot to mention it' (Tripath) made an interesting bonfire of the chip The joys of Audio

 

Where are these bargain evo 4 's?

I haven't seen any.

that's all i found

 

You need to know the right people, surfice to say the $ sign might have given you a clue . You do need to dig a little, but there are there.
Mind you I believe Both John and Kev paid around the £2600 mark for a uk model, so they are available here for that sort of cash, and there was me thinking you were an mono 'x' sort of guy

 

oh yes mono X all the way !

though cyrus have just announced a "variable servo" adaptation to the pre X preamp, filtering down to the cyrus 6 and 8 integrateds, making what hifi proclaim the 6vs the equal of the old 8. and p!$$ing a few people off who have just bought an 8 only to suddenly discover the 8vs at the same price (and some the very next day).

which means i have a few "upgrades" pending
have my "2nd system" aa5+ "les'd" to aaa5+
have my isotek / isol8 minisub "v2'd"
have my pre x "vs'd"
have my apa7's "mono x'd"

i was just diverting a few mins on google as a favour to bemcsa.

 

new kit sounds great - it's official
