Hi John, amazing things i see here, for a newbie like me ... I have a Crown XLi1500 and I want to make it a better home hifi amp for my tower speakers Paradigm Monitor 11 v.7. I like the drums/bass to be fast, articulate, punchy ... I hate low, slow bass woowing in my ears ... and seems XLi1500 might be a nice budget solution
In a previous post you said: "If there's one place where this amplifier can be improved is the power supply"
Please tell me what do you recommend regarding this subject? the filtering caps? some 4 x 12000uf/63V Nichicon will be an improvement?
(replacing those 4 x 10000uf/63V RM)
Thank you for your time!
P.S. Already noted the 2 coupling capacitors to be replaced with Nichicon Muse 10uf/25V ... are to be more of those needed to be replaced?
Crown XLI1500 a modern day staple?
