Focusrite 315 Mod

Focusrite 315 ModThis mod is intended to improve the transparency of the Focusrite 315. As the 315 is primarily used by Mastering Engineers it is they who have noticed a lack of transparency not only when the EQ is engaged, but even when it is inserted in the signal chain with EQ bypassed. The Problem: Too many audio coupling caps in the signal chain The balanced input stage circuit is overdesigned and a signifiant cause for the lack of transparency On transformer balanced models the transformers are not totally transparent. Rarely if ever is a transformer “transparent” to the exte..

Orban Optimod 8100A 8180A mod

Orban Optimod 8100A and 8180A mod: The Orban 8100A and 8180A processors were originally designed for broadcast audio ( radio and tv stations), with secret circuitry to keep high frequencies optimized even when the received signal is weak or wavering, such as near the edges of a broadcast stations allotted range. Additionally these processors evened out high frequency differences between songs, commercials and announcer voice. These processors and others like it can actually improve a recording that is a bit dull relative to the norm, and record buyers have often remarked that the vinyl or cd etc they purchased did not ..

Phase Linear 400 mod

Phase Linear 400 Mod: The Phase LInear 400 and 700 amplifiers are among the best ever transistor amplifiers ever sold. The circuit is an excellent example of both simplicity and sophistication. A huge, high quality power transformer backs of the need for transient handling typically needed to reproduce music. The large number of output transistors allows for music to to spend more time in the more linear part of the transistor. Opinions as to the excellence of the circuit may vary, but the experience of the sound and music reproducing capabilities of this is hard to dispute. For one thi..
