and clarity. Only recommended if the $995 or $1395 is out of your budget (we
can upgrade you to those mods if you decide to get this mod package for the
price difference between the packages).
Power Supply mods-Add Furutech IEC Connector, Replace stock noisy diodes with RAM Ultra Low
Impedance Handmade Diode Bridge, Replace an abundance Voltage rail capacitors
with Ultra Low Impedance Rubycon ZA/ZL caps in power supply and for analog
decoupling.
