Hi. I don't think your Jensen upgrade will disappoint you. If you check the tweaks section you'll find my notes and a few pics. Even for the 1.6, the full Jensen upgrade path required an external XO. This was housed in a home built acrylic enclosure. Yours will have to be sustantially larger box of course to accommodate your mg20 XO!

Thanks, S. I did check out your design and there are some good ideas there. I've got engineers (aircraft) for neighbors on either side of me, and I'm working with one of them to put together a nice non-resonant chassis for the new parts. It's truly amazing, though: those Jensen paper-in-oil caps are approximately the size of frozen juice cans. The inductors are not wound with wire, but are rolls of 12 and 14 guage copper foil - massive.I'm documenting the whole process, and once it's all done, I'll publish it here along with nice digital photos of the assembl yand final product.
Regards...
