YS Audio- Symphonies upgrade review...............

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

Anyone with the YS Audio Symphonies tube pre should really consider taking out the input Wima's, ERO coupling caps, & very bad Philips output caps.This allready fine sounding pre for the money should be considered a stand out among any pre's anywere at this price point. swap all the above with Auricap's. 6 total in signal path. Just got them in last night & fired it up, At first the drastic change was almost not welcome,Bass was lean but much tigher, the midrange was crazy good,actually everything changed for a very noticeable good, these are very transparent caps, speakers have truely disappeared now.After seriouse study on Auricap before going that route, I new that the break in on these is 40 hrs min. At the 20 hr mark the bass is back with a vengence,tight as all get out.I am actualy stunned that this easily done mod made such a improvement on a allready good sounding system,If you have this pre, order the 6 Auricaps, for under 100.00 you will never match this mod for this kind of money IMHO.
System is as follows:
Yamaha MX-2000 amp
YS Audio symphonies tube pre
JVC XL-Z1050 CDP into MF X-dac
Paradigm Studio 40's on custom 19 1/2"sand filled steel stands on granite.
ZU Libtec speaker cables
Zu GEDE IC pre to amp- 89259 w/bullets CDP to dac - Cardas w/bullets dac to pre.
Nothing to what most of you guy's run , but It can run hard with many.
If you have any questions on placement & values for the Auricap mod just let me know.
Can't wait till this damn thing hit's 40hrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
