Modifications undertaken:

• 2 x BlackGate STD-grade electrolytic power supply capacitors

• 4 x Riken Ohm ½ and one watt signal path 1% carbon comp. resistors with gold-plated leads

• We replace the stock $5 dual I-V op amps with the world's best, the $25/ea. Burr-Brown OPA-627 in a special single DIP module - we use 2 pieces total

• 2 x 3uf Auricap metalized polypropylene output coupling caps
