Pimping a PSU3?

[colin.hepburn]

Hi John/All
|Yes it was me who came up with the Hammond Choke mod the choke is the 157G/30H @ 40ma/595ohms can be got from here http://www.bluebellaudio.com/

As Greg has said some liked the mod some did not hear a difference But I would say like Bob has said Build it as is first and get an ear for the sound first and then try the choke upgrade

On my system the change to the sound was clear in that there was more body and depth and imaging was is much wider. Now Pleas bear in mind I bid this mod to the PSU 2 version only so cannot speak for the new PSU3

I also suggested the oscon Cap for the phono 2 on the 5751 cathode which was also tested out by Richard who confirmed the same as me that treble was more refined

The modes you refer to in your first post I did on the phono 2 from the off but only because I did not have the kit I only had the PCB board but yes build it standard first if you have got the full kit

The other thing to note About the above modes for me anyway was that my system is singe ended Amp and Frugal Back loaded horns with fostex 126E drivers and Bass helpers So this is likely why I noted the bigger differences with the choke mod
Hope is helps
