EDIT**
RS part number:
467-4239

These are the closest I could find, a bit smaller than the ones I have but will actually fit better!
These should require about 14 turns to get to 10uh.
Should be a nice fit with 22SWG wire.

Yep!, this is a better solution than I have.
A little more fiddly but a shorter length of wire.

Thanks LostCause

I just checked them out in local RS suppliers €6.00 for 25 - good deal. Does anybody want some that I will have spare - you pay for postage from Ireland.

been there done that!
I think I might have a garage sale (US term) at the end of this, I could mod 20 amps with the stuff I have,maybe I should sell kits (common Capt., you know it makes sense!)......is there ever an end?..........

I have a question for berthej. You paralelled a 10,000uf cap off-board with your modified T-Amp. Does it work and if so what difference do you think it makes. I have various large caps and I am thinking of doing the same. Did you simply connect from the + and - of the underneath of C10 ?

I have just added a BHC Aerovox 4700uf as a stiffener cap (very large size can 4" by 1 1/2 half diameter) as suggested by lostcause. Wow did someone replace the 6-7 watts per channel with a Krell! S.I on steroids. I am amazed. I have a 6800uf one spare ??

Hi Puffin

It works perfectly. For the effect it has, well, I did what you are not supposed to do, but when I had the board out I couldn’t stop myself.

So at the same time I replaced the input caps and the C10, and added the outboard cap. So I am unable to tell you what the difference each of these changes make, but after some hours of break-in the overall effect was incredible, with a much-improved bass response.
