Hi guys!

This is for the die hard engineers out there.

Take a look at the graph on the left versus the right. Can you imagine these in a crossover?

That is some impressive stuff...although I hardly understands what they are describing. Do you think if I take some pictures of my home amp's internal parts they can send me the correct parts that I can replace?
This may sound funny but I can solder desolder no problem (I built my own xover with good parts for my home speaker) but I just need someone to tell me to "replace this part with this".

 

Kaban,

Just be sure to have a good closeup of the parts. Use lots of light or take the pictures under direct sunlight. Their parts (Multicap) are EXPENSIVE! But I use those and Black Gate parts extensively in the Krell home player.

Which amp do you have? I've had to mod out my smaller Denon 2500. 5600 comes next when I get the time...and after I get all the car gear modded.

Cool they will actually do that. I'll make sure to use plenty of lights! Any pointers as to which parts I should start with in an amp?

I have a Pioneer VSX D510, it's a DTS / Dolby digital decoder amp pretty cheap only $500 so I can afford to blow it up np, pretty good a/v performance and build quality. All it's interconnect ports (all Pioneer gear I think) are to the right and power cord is to far left.

 

Kaban,

They MIGHT do that. Send them an email first. I've taken apart a PDR99 CDR Pioneer Elite unit and everything is surface mounted. Small components and that makes modding difficult. Same thing with my DVD/LD player (DVL90), also a Pioneer Elite.

Start off with the preamp, the boards closest to the RCA jacks. Just be sure to take good CLEAR shots since the numbers get kinda hard to read.

Ah ok I'll send them an e-mail first to see if they will do this. Thanks Percy.
