Hi Bob

I appreciate your concern. I have upgraded a number of amps before ... although I always had the circuit diagram available. I don't now and that's what I'm asking for.

I am not thinking of changing the RIAA caps. I honestly did I wasn't, so I am not sure how that came about.

From what I could see the couplers are 0.22uF caps and there is plenty room for a V-Cap/Dynamicap sized coupler. I would like a circuit diagram though to be 100% sure it is the coupler cap I am looking at.

The Herron is a good piece. I want a little better. I can spend $600 on high quality caps or $10,000 on an Aesthetix. I don't really have $10,000 to play with now ...

If I put in the new coupling caps and they sound bad/worse, I can always revert to OEM. As I told Jeffrey, I do one stereo pair at a time and audition. No biggie.

Regards
Paul

Why do you want to potentially trash a unit as good as a Herron? - Bob Rex 08:27:34 04/24/07 (16)

Good question. - cheap-Jack 08:44:40 04/24/07 (15)

"Trash" it? My my, you two are being awfully tough on Pauly. Surely both of you understand that products... - jeffreybehr 09:11:47 04/24/07 (14)

That's your wrong use of English, my friend. - cheap-Jack 08:32:43 04/25/07 (5)

Actually that is "Void" (no "a") used as a verb. nt - clifff 03:24:40 04/26/07 (3)

Generally, to "void" means to declare effectless. - cheap-Jack 07:56:50 04/26/07 (0)
