I think it was next to the DAC but I'm not sure.

Hi guys.
I finally got a cd-63 KI and am looking to do some mods. Finally, since the KI's are pretty scarce in Canada. Is there a good précis of this thread somewhere? 18K posts are a bit overwhelming! Thanks! |

A lot of the information we can give you all depends on your ability to upgrade and understand the circuits. There are simple guides that cover opamp changes , capacitor swaps , clocking etc and then there are more complex upgrades that include further clocking , multiple regulator installs, transformer upgrades etc etc.
Let us know where you are heading and we can try to point you to the correct guides etc Brent |

Brent, I am not looking to compete with you for the worlds best cd-63!
 Just looking for the best, bang for the buck upgrades. I can get some professional assistance if some of the mods are beyond my rudimentary soldering skills. Thanks! |

The first thing I would do is change pretty much all the capacitors on the 5V rails. All except CD15 & CD16 I would fit Oscon SEPC, if you cannot get SEPC then other oscons will do a job. If you manage to get some Blackgates that would be even better. The above mentioned capacitors I would fit 16V 470uF Rubycon ZA / ZLG.
Once these are done I remove C813 and C814. If you can get a large value capcitor connected up. We use 25V 22000uF Mundorf caps here (we do have to drill the pcb so the legs fit. You can also turn the cap upside down and hardwire to the pcb. Shorting out the two fuses helps a lot too but it is best to wait until you are satisfied with the work and it all works without popping a fuse. The it is the output section.... Brent |

Yep, op-amps clocks and power supplies. That is all.
