Thanks Hugh, looking forward to breathing lead agian

As far as "The Blonde" goes, it has been an interesting experience listening to my original TLb speakers using an 80's Musical Fidelity amp since the GK1 stopped. 

I am convinced I am on the right track!!

Too much stuff to do, music is mostly really, really good (so I mostly listen and haven't done much tweaking lately) but... I may have some time to tweak in the next month or two, so what do you guys think? 

Should I leave my "mostly-Platinum-tweaked GK-1" alone, or do this mod?

Many thanks,
Peter

Peter,

Sorry I'm a bit late in responding to your query but been away from the forum for a bit.  I personally think this is a really worthwhile and close to a must do upgrade so I would recommend you tweak away.

I haven't changed the transistors myself but upgraded the caps to 24uF Solens before the apparently better AudioCap 40uF buy became available.  Even with the Solens, my initial impression of the C4/C7 mod was of an improvement pretty close to the order of magnitude of that of the original Platinum installation with greatly increased refinement and clean, low-level detail.  Did take quite a long period for the caps to bed in though so be prepared for that.

Go on, do it - you know you want to.

Lyn,
Thanks for your encouraging comments.  I remember the magnitude of the Platinum mods... away we go!!  Thank you!!!
