When doing the snubber mod what do you guys find best to scrape away
Some of the varnish to create a ground exacto knife or what ?

I have been going through this thread and have received my green TPA3116 amp module (It's not D2, but figured I would post here anyways) in the mail today. It is TINY! I dunno why the size never translated to me from the photos I've seen.
Before testing it, I was curious if anyone has one of these doing Power Amp duty, that is, no volume control. If so, would it just require the pot section to be wired so as to replicate a volume pot turned to full? Thanks in advance.

If changing the input coupling caps could I leave the 2 smaller 1uf and
Put a 3uf on the outer 2 without any problems ? Is it Worth the trouble ?

I have a pdf of an old class d kit for car that is still running since 1987 if anyone is interested
I am thinking of trying the transformers in place of input caps
You guys that have done it with the Cinemags do you feel it was
Worth the money spent ?

Yes and No. If you have a cheapo Chinese 3116, I would not waste the money. Im still evaluating the wiener and so far it sounds very good. The current leader is the dugg mono blocks plus 2200 KA 50v nichicons, cinemags. And ive tried most of the combos related to this thread, and this is the best combo.

[. I am running a YJ 3116d2 with all the other mods just completed,
Thought maybe the Cinemags would take it even further up the chain of
Performance. But if consensus is that it would yield a small return
I may save the money.

For two cinemags $101 total. Save the money and buy a completed "wiener" board, it sounds much better then then modded YG , and the "wiener" has all the latest bells and whistles, including the pvcc mod which is very important.
[ where can I find a finished Wiener board ?

I've got some extras available, though I'm running short on inductors, including the big batch of Sagami ones I ordered from Jotrin.
Got everyone's boards built here, having a hell of a time getting mounting hardware, never expected getting #4 or M3 machine screws locally to be such a pain in the ***. Once that's all taken care of (within a couple days, I promise) I'll move onto selling off the extras and getting another buy on the go given enough interest.

You guys are mixing wiener with DUG pcb monoblock. Wiener sounds very good stock but all Chinese amps sound better with oscons and bootstrap mod.

Uh, the BOM of the Wiener card costs the same as 3 of those cards...
Read the feature set of the wiener on the 1st post of the group buy and tell me how that card's equivalent to it.
