Marantz CD63 & CD67 mods list

[SimontY]

I've not seen many CD67s taken to a really high level, be interesting to hear about it.

I realize it's not the player of choice but it's what i had when the madness set in and now it's too late but go forward. I would say it's gone about 2 thirds of what's possible (reasonable), but Brent would know this better. It sounds very good however. It has Ray's DOS board so you know I'm serious!

I'd use either 220uF or 470uF. You can get ZA's from Lee (Thomo) and ZLG's from Farnell (min order value). If you want to go all posh, click the smiley!!!

Nichicon FG are quite good indeed.... Big bass and very subtle detailed highs.

Those BG's are in $ dont forget! They aren't bad at $3.75 for 470uF/16v! They are good on delivery too.

try these but I think the minimum order quantity is £25 I think

RUBYCON|16ZLG470M10X12.5|CAPACITOR, 470UF, 16V | Farnell United Kingdom

I think Lee is about £2.50 for ZA's which were always more expensive than ZLG's

Be carefull of the eBay "too good to be true" prices!

If you buy from any of the above, you know what you are getting

Too low for what? 16v caps are too low for a 12v rail??????

ZA's are used in many commercial upgrades and they are not the cheapest, that must tell you something. ZLG are the replacement for ZA as they are now obsolete. They are much cheaper than the ZA's were but they are still much better then most. Caps are a personal choice but I've been pulling nichicon elco's out as part of my upgrades!!!!

You'll loose loads of the details that ZA's will give you using Nichicon. If you like a warmer sound you could use Nichicon or you could start with a TDA1541a based player like myself, Simon and Lee did!!!
