Matthieu/Malefoda is very happy with his Quad 11L mods. I'd recommend doing those (cabinet damping, uprated tweeter caps) and putting nice cable inside.
I'd look at 4VS (£9/m I believe) inside and out.
I've compared 4PR (£5/m) to a double run (but not biwire) of 8TC (£80/m) and the subtle difference is in the sweetness and bass. Not worth the difference for most people.

That Kimber cable from ebay shipped from china is fake. I emailed the guy a few weeks ago. Very coy indeed.
I have loads of Kimber cable and I can tell you by looking its fake, a good looking copy though.
On Ebay Kimber cable usually sells for 45%-55% of its original. 8VS is a good starting block. You can also sell it later if you want to upgrade and get pretty much all the money back you spent on it. Look for silly long lengths that you can cut in half and re sell. I've gained cable for nothing doing it this way.

Hi Ricardo,
in fact I'm fixing my CDP, not modding...
No idea of LM vs LT, never used even if I'm selling them on eBay...
Sorry.
Never mind... I believe the 340 is better (at least it gave a big improvement when I replaced the 7805 by one 340.
Hope your repair goes without problems.

While waiting for the 5va tx from RS, I would like to upgrade the HF circuit by replacing the resistors with 0.1% precision as you indicated in your pdf.
I can not find the exact values on RS so I am attaching a xls with the possible match.
Can you please comment on the possible alternatives ?
Best regards
Ricardo
Hi Ricardo
Those are the resistors I use
I never wrote down the exact resistance value to save confusion, and as you have found out the presicion ones are unusual values.
These are the same resistors used in the attenuators and attenuated leads as sold by Russ Andrews and a few others.
