RE: Confusion at MX110 12AX7 tube results




Ok so here's some pics.

There was a failure of half the filter cap at the back next to the transformer (paper covering on it) and is now aided by a capacitor inside the amp (I believe you will understand and see what that is.

Also another filter multi cap died (the one in the middle) and that was replaced with a Mallory in that position.

Other than that I am hearing a loss of smoothness on the top somehow. I am using an EAR 834 now into the MC240 (McShane and your mod) and it sounds fuller than the once fuller sounding MX110 phono section. I am at a loss...

Did they do something wrong at the shop? Apparently they know what they are doing but have no considerations usually for audiophile tendencies. (all mods are considered idiotic by them)...

Have a look...
Paul
