Changed the Bennics to the obbligato Oil caps...
Big improvement, much warmer fuller sound with more bass and dynamiscs. Jazz sounds very nice with more soul !

Ciao Marco,
mine too was light in the bass at the beginning, but after a 48h burning- in it achieved the 90% of its sound capability.
I got a great improvement in terms of warmness and soundstage when I swapped the original power supply for a 7ah sealed lead battery. IMHO a must to try.-
I have also shielded the coils with copper as on Mardis' site, but I'm not able to tell of a difference.
Now I would replace the pot with the TKD 2CP601, maybe one of the best 16mm. pot on the market: could some one suggest me where to buy it? Thel Audio is the only european seller I know, but it's a lot expensive.
I would also replace the Sanyo caps with Panasonic Fm, but I am worry after reading that mids could suffer from this mod. In my opinion recessed mids is the main weakness of the Ta10. I could even prefer the Trends to my triode power amps, if somehow I get better mids (presence).
Excuse me too for my awful English.
antbom,

Hi panomaniac, I was just wondering if you are having a hand in the making of the "mono-a mono" amp over at audiomagus and if so,do you have any info, like will you be doing a upgraded version.

Yes, I'm invovled with the Mono-a-Mono. Mostly just waiting on cases.
I'm sure there will be an upgrade version, as well as DIY kits.

Give the obbligato's a try, It helps the mids a lot! Warmer , fuller and more upfront.... I also found that the trends had slightly recessed mids compared to my dads 300B PP amps.
they don't sound cheap!
Despite the great sunny weather here I've been sitting inside listening to music , sounds really good now! very romantic and intimate.

I have to admit, it does look a bit cheap!
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

You've got me interested to try these Obbligato's now😀 I don't think I've seen a bad review yet!
So are these a lot better than the Bennics? also what value you using
I'm using 2.0 Uf... The difference is quite big...
The bennics sound thin compared, a bit to much high's --- very analytical and boring with jazz and acoustic music.
Obbligatoos have more bass, a pronounced full seductive mid-end and lovely smooth highs. More depth in the soundstage and also more dynamic somehow ( can leave volume lower)
There's not as much listener fatique, they don't shout.
Comes much closer to the real tube sound I like so much. ( I grew up listening to my dads Audion 300B PP monoblocks)
