I have seen so much dedicated to the "modding the Trends" thread (having posted on it and now receive prompts) that I cannot understand why more of you have not modded the Kensington S2000 i-pod dock.
Check out the "is this the cheapest T-Amp in U.K" or something similar and get along to you nearest Richer Sounds. I have 4 modded S.I's a Trends 10.1 and a Teac Tripath amp. My amp of choice is the modded Kensington (and yes I left the tiny inductors as standard !)

These are the toroids I used. I will try removing some of the wire. I have used some in a modded Sonic Impact and it sounds brilliant.

Audio1st. Many thanks for your reply. It has occurred to me that as the input goes in at the same place, is it simply a matter of reducing the overall size of the pcb, or does chopping it in half result in better sound quality ?
I assume that the picture you produced for me shows the Auricaps for illustration purposes only, and that the SCR caps on the previous picture are one on top and one underneath the board ?
It also appears that there may be a connection where C37 & C38 (next to the end of the SCR cap) were removed ?
Sorry so many questions, but finally.. i assume that the C54 & C55 100uf are not needed as these have been removed.

Just so it fits in the case..

Correct..

No connection between C37 & C38, just between the SCR cap and the board..

Correct again..
The attatched picture shows an impression of a better board layout if you cut it even smaller..(as Lee did)..
