Hello someone updated the preamplifier PASS LABS X2?
The capacitors are very cheap and spoil the circuit resistance impreso.El problem is in the size of the capacitors capacitors to know someone.
thanks

I've read and re-read again about your post, and I'm dumb enough

...still don't understand what you mean...

hola yo quiero cambiar los condensadores por unos mejores y si se le puede hacer alguna mejora en los demas componentes.

Yes, for sure...you can change cap's to better performance.
What X2 version do you have?there are X2 1's version, 2's and 3's version. And, avaliable schematic just for X2 1's version...

gracias

The X2 have a good capacitors inside, IMMO a step up capacitor (In quality) are too big for this unit (V-Caps or something like this). My advice is leave the unit like is, and make a new X2 with a proper size pcb for big capacitors.

P.S. I recently bought a Aleph L with a disastrous mod, someone changed the resistor level control by a Alps blue potentiometer, arggg!.

What should the Aleph L have had as standard ?

Please post in English it's an international forum and not everyone is capable of reading Español like you and I do.
It's not against your language but the fact that others can not understand you!

Thanks,
Muchas gracias !

Have a stepped attenuator (resistor) (Much better track than a Alps) close to Goldpoint units

The v1.2 have the same attenuator with two circuits (Part of the run are in passive mode)

Surely the choice of the attenuator is down to the constructor.

I actually prefer the ALPs pots. Until such times as someone produces a 40 step ladder attenuator. (or more)
