It very nice work
but so some it has not upped the value

. if you find the right person into the carbon fiber look you might want or have to sell it as a lot.
shipping can become a issue.
i would look into what the item go from fair to minty and price it some were around the higher end

on the amp have the caps been changed?

I think you may have more luck selling as a set in the UK...

Is that an overlay, or were they actually molded?

its real CF that is "skinned"/overlayed over the top of the cases.

Just curious..... Why do you want to get rid of them? These are super nice and very unique!

On a side note.. I'm looking to customize my dd10 as well, but I don't want to do it unless I can rebadge it. Can you get another set of badges? I'd gladly pay for them and your time!

Mike the ti isn't like the older white / Black ZX amps

So the ti amps do not need caps replaced? FANTASTIC I have like 7 of them I can start using again, I have been gun shy to use any of my PG amps after my ZPA melted.

I was under the understanding that PG used a different cap that wasn't prone to leaking after so many years .....

Would DEFINITELY be a good Question for EricD <--- Click There ......

I remember this quote from Eric ...

Eric D wrote:I can add this much...

All PG amps in the lines of MS, MPS, ZX, M, and ZPA use the same input capacitors. Stock they are 2,200uF 16V 105C caps. They are all the same physical size. 18mm diameter, 31.5mm height, and 7.5mm lead spacing. I personally replace them with these 5,600uF versions...

http://search.digikey.com/us/en/product ... -ND/589284

One additional note: The PG Reactor amp (limited edition based on the ZX line) has more height room in it. I often use 10,000uF caps in Reactors which I work on.

Also of note: Any PG amp which is Ti (or ZXti as well) series or newer does not have the infamous failing capacitors in it. If you find one of these amps with failing caps, it is almost always due to abuse (amp severely overheated, and often).

I have never see any rail capacitor in any PG amp fail naturally. All rail cap failures have been from abuse (same as above, too much heat for too long). If someone is selling you a PG amp and its rail caps look bad, you know it has been abused. This does not mean the amp is junk though, if the damaged parts are replaced, the amp can work fine.

Abused amps with caps which show damage may need other work on them as well. I replaced the caps in an amp which clearly was over heated several times. When done I hooked the amp up and it worked just fine on my test bench. I put it in a box and set it aside. One year later I hooked it up to test it prior to selling it. About 5 minutes into using it (on 8 ohm home speakers of all things), a channel failed and it blew a fuse. I found one output transistor had shorted out. My best guess is this all was rooted back in the thermal abuse the amp had endured. Enough heat and other components besides capacitors become weakened. These parts can then fail at random.
