Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Start reading around on this forum and you will learn a lot. Then later feel free to start an argument with someone. i did some reading on the forum, and i did indeed learned some stuff. but i find it very strange that there are other members on the forum that also increased the capacitance of the ...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

We don't fuck around, twist our/your words to try and prove a point that we can't. well, because you keep on nagging about it, i just measured the resistance of the speakercable i ripped out, i measured the longest piece wich is about 10 inch and nicely corroded: 0.127 ohms i had a leftover from th...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Maybe it is ok to throw out an insult as long as you finish it in "MATE" i ended the phrase with MATE because in my eyes this just wasn't an insult.. Mate is a colloquialism used to refer to a friend and is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It i...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Haha! This always happens on hifi-related forums. Unending duels between those who "hear" and those that don't. Hifi is a great hobby and hearing differences after a mod is a bonus. that is very true, but in this case they're just mad for one little phrase( not so bright), that might not ...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

And better RCA wires makes it sound better as well. These are wild and baseless claims, which you cannot offer any proof. that there is difference in rca cables is a fact i don't have to proof, there's been lot's of reviews and comparisations by audio magazines wich give proof.. When you buy a CD p...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

You seem to be the one claiming to hear better than anyone else...
so, you're saying that a 21yr old amp with caps that are leaking sounds exactly thesame like one with brand new caps??

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

The rail caps are not in the output signal path, how could they be?

How can they not be in the output signal path if they're connected to the same point as the speakerterminal?

and this is a honest question, i'm getting a little tired of the mocking reply's... :|

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Off the top of my head there is only one real PG mod worth performing. That is the expansion of the amps frequency response down to 0Hz (DC). In the MS2250TA I modded some time ago, I actually removed all the capacitors in the signal path of the amp and replaced them with wires (shorts). This allow...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

The guy who pointed me out to those caps is Iwan Vinck, a belgian phoenix dealer who won the european iasca finals twice in the early 90's with one MPS2500. I know the guy about 18 years now, he also made the install in the new beetle for Boston acoustics europe with the TI amps.. http://www.arcdeur...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

Do the plexi. covers still fit on ? The rail caps look to tall. I like the look of the gold power supply caps. What part # are they ? indeed the railcaps are too high for the plexi, but because of the in home use that's no problem.. I'm planning on making a custom smoked plexi with cutouts for the ...

Re: MPS 2240 Upgrades

I'm not convinced a cap change will make a wider stage and better imaging but the caps you replaced were obviously faulty so maybe you just restored the amps sonic capabilities back to factory stock
possibly... not going to argue that :)
