What's with the 8ga speaker wire from the IEC connector to the PC board two inches in length? I estimate that preamp pulls less than 200ma at 120v. That hacked in 8ga wire is doing absolutely nothing over the OEM 22ga.
Furthermore is that speaker wire approved for line voltage? I'll bet not!
This is an excellent example of hacking an otherwise good product. I am certain, even without listening, these mods compromised the OEM performance.
nada aqui

I wonder if the cap the space is marked for was a circuit change at the factory and no longer used, or removed by the bozo that added the rest of the caps. Can't quite make it out in the photo, but looks like a resistor in its place?
Though I would use a much larger resistor than that.
The picture is baffling ...
Did anyone notice, that's an awful lot of Black Gate N caps $$$$
Maybe he was possibly trying to make a larger value Super-E config using multiple smaller values.
But is that even possible to achieve?
I built an amp for a guy and he brought it back at one point. He'd bypassed the PSU caps with all kinds of stuff. The dangerous thing was that since he didn't understand the schematic he just used boutique caps that were well reviewed. A few were marked 150v when the HT was over 300v. Lucky they didn't blow up.
