THE MAX CAN STILL BE MAX'ED... Many many months ago, Mang Mandy shared with me pictures of his Minimax Phono, in which he substituted the factory supplied caps in the inputs to Mundorf's Silver Gold Oil caps. He reported many areas of improvements just by substituting 2 caps, the ones pictured below in white, labelled MultiCap:
Into the black colored Mundorf Silver Gold Oil caps.
I told Morita about the experience of Mang Mandy and after so much delay, finally, we set up a day to substitute not only 2, but 6 caps in the signal path, here all colored in white.
Into 6 black colored Mundorf Silver Gold oil caps.
We then tested the phono stage at Audio Amplified's showroom in Libis just to make sure all is working well, and yes, both channels do have sound.
Then we packed it up, for Morita to perform some serious 24/7 burn in of the brand new Max which has been 'max'ed' even more by the new German caps.
He will bring it to my place for a Clash of the Clans showdown, and to attack my Mullard laced Minimax with his Mundorf'ed unit. Mahilig sa combat talaga si Pat.
I will report only when my unit trounces his.
