PeeCeeBee V4 GB!

Hi Shaan, after replacing the defective power MOS my amp is singing again. Because it seemed a bit clinical sounding compared to my other amplifiers I followed your advice and installed a power resistor 0.1R in series with my 4ohm speakers. The result was much stronger than expected, trebles tamed a lot (maybe a bit too much) bass became a bit stronger and mids (voices) came up with more presence.
Now I use a 0.033R manganese Isabellenhuette 30W resistor and I believe I reached the desired balance. Enough details in treble register with the nice voice presence. It is unbelievable the impact of a such small resistor value in the overall sound.

Thanks again for your help!

@shaan what is this mod ? didnt know about it . Can it be done to my amp also and also would request you to please explain the logic behind it.
