The front end chips have been upgraded to the 'THAT1510' parts which have a far superior sound to the original Analog Devices parts.
The RIAA stays basically the same i.e. fully passive using Mundorf audiophile grade film and foil capacitors.
The Power supply uses higher quality 'Rubicon HA' reservoir caps and has an improved voltage regulator design.
All of the decoupling electrolytic capacitors have been changed to 'Panasonic ECA' Audio Grade.
The output stage is where most of the work has been done, there are a pair of 'Analog Devices AD825' chips complete with a dc offset servo. This stage is a big improvement over the original in terms of sound quality.
The upgrade is a board change, so you get a complete new set of electronics. Your case will remain the same unless you request a new one.
A full 12 month guarantee is included with the purchase of this upgrade.
What costs are involved?
The cost of the upgrade is £200.00 inc VAT plus return carriage.
To change the case to the latest high gloss black finish please add an extra £35.00 inc VAT.
Carriage costs are extra and depend on your location - please enquire.
