In any case, you can get a very respectable sound even out of Shiga that has no BGs at all, as long as other parts are well optimised - trafo, output resistors, C906, separate 5V reg etc. - how far have you gotten in your 'cloning?
BTW uncle_leon, where do you stand on offering a replacement for the C906?
uncle_leon, I'm waiting for the units from Tibi when he starts shipping in August / September. Personally, I'm not looking for respectable sound - I already have a Madrigal Proceed PDT3 for that. I want something to beat it and the other great transports I've heard - ML 31.5, CEC, etc.
That's fair enough You may be interested in the complete list of Shigaclone mods I am curently compiling (most of which should be applicable to the new Shiga) - I will be posting it in a few days, along with some of my new discoveries. I get quite a few messages/emails asking me about this or that aspect of Shigaclone, so I thought compiling it would save everyone's time. And time is doubly precious to me because I spend most of it trying hard to figure out how to make a living out of my hand-made components

Please see post #5864 - the offer is still valid, although I wouldn't recommend that cap for you. You want the new VNM+ Cap. That, or Duelund CAST.

Maybe I'll start up that new thread I was mentioning a few pages ago. I was going to wait, but maybe we should just get it off the ground. I was thinking of calling it "Turning the Shigaclone 2012 Into a Giant Killer". I'll take suggestions for a better title. The focus would be on starting with Tibi's soon to be available version and tweaking the life out of it. Your input I suspect would be appreciated by many!

Hmm. Looks very interesting. For this design what value would you recommend? Also, is there any sonic difference between the mahogany and sapele?

Tibi just a question
Is shippment registered? I am asking because there have been too many lost packages lately here in Greece.
If not, please update my invoice to include registered (signed for with tracking number) shipping.
Thanks a lot
All shipments have tracking number and are tracked up to Romanian borders.
If you prefer another carrier please let me know by pm.
Regards,
Tibi
