Re: Toshiba 3950 Mods...

>>Any thoughts on subbing Schottkys or HexFreds for D801-804 (and maybe one or two other locations)?

I'm not sure if this will really make that much of a difference, but it can't hurt to replace the bridge rectifiers with hexfreds.

>>Also, there seems to be two different transports used in the 3950

This is news to me. Thanks for the info, I had no idea. Maybe my other 3950 that I didn't open yet has the other transport? I wonder if one sounds better?

>>Finally, how small does one have to be to unsolder/solder the dual- opamp?

This is pretty delicate work. I removed a few electrolytics that were in the way so I could get better access to the part. It is fragile and requires some practice. I also feel that changing this opamp had a very big influence on the sound.
