I must make a compliment to ZenMod here!
after disassembling and reassembling my M25 I got sloppy and confused some wires
(+ & -) after rectification capacitor-board input on left channel.
thinking all was fine i switched the brat on and left it (and the room) for some 20minutes -
coming back into some smelly ...
fearing the worst i flipped the switch off.
after the smoke vanished i saw a charred 7805.
did put a new one in and after eliminating my mistake flipped the switch again.
everything works within its prescribed parameters.
even the fleashit SMD resistors (or caps?) survived the misuse.
all hail to ZenMod!

I didn't imagine seeing these artists on here! I took my wife to see Brötzmann once, and she will never let me forget it. It ranks as one of her worst concerts ever, if not #1 worst.
Zorn, on the other hand... We have seen several incarnations of Zorn / Masada. Due his sheer mass of releases, he may be the artist with the most CDs in my collection. Half of Masada book 1, half of book 2, all of book 3, birthday series, string trio, several live, a bootleg, painkiller, news for lulu, and more.
SissySIT content - the Zorn book 1 Masada series are my "go-to" in the genre, and they sound FANTASTIC on the SissySIT!
I was at a naked city concert in the early 90ies, similar experience. I‘ll never forget the singer, drummer and frith. Literally took my breath.
My then-girlfriend though... didn‘t marry me [emoji26]
But I still listen them...
And who knows sissy might become my next major project? (Do you hear me, mighty ZM? [emoji84])
SissySIT R2 pcbs Xformer wiring fix, graphical files
So recapitulation :
- if you have Edcor 600:15K, do nothing , you're good - you have 6V/V gain, which is 15.5db
- if you have Edcor 600:600, Jensen JT-123-FLPCH, Cinemag CMOQ-4LPC, Cinemag CMOQ-4HPC , you have 2V/V gain, 6db , so we need to make fix shown on pics
xacto knife and tiny wires are all you need, besides good will to pardone moi for culpa, maxima
for both channels - cut on upper trace going from jumper pin to xformer pin, then solder tiny wire (either on top side or bottom side, suit your self) going from same jumper pin to different xformer pin
Voila! there is 4V/V gain, 12db

Thanks Zen Mod!
Got my Sissy with Cinemags modified.
Levels look good!
I have another pair of SITs from pras... it was either that or sort out how to test the SITs I have from wantanabe—which is pushing my current skillz. ZM last recommendation was SITs were likely culprit. Looks like it all works out though since I may be able to use some SITs for Vfet iterations.... So, answer is no, not yet...but it's pretty high on the list (I've been doing regular ZM bowings though—tested out and re-loved all over his redodo of AJ ZEN.).... and will sort out the recent ZM updates/fixes while I'm at it....
