As soon as I got some units available that are in a case I can certainly let you have a listen to one :). At the moment I am limited to just a PCB stuck onto a protective foam base, which has been doing the rounds amongst a couple of London based listeners. I am waiting for the main semiconductors to arrive from their respective manufacturers. 6 to 8 weeks is the quote for production quantities of some parts, which is the main cause of all the delays:(.
Sounds good! And I can certainly sympathise with the parts delays, we've had no shortage of the same.Quote:

I have to say i was pleasantly surprised by the mod as i wasn't expecting much of an improvement over the excellent Gator, the difference hit my ears straight away.The vocals natural and the instruments wider i could pick out each instrument easily. I was listening to some acoustic sets and it seemed so real you could be mistaken for being there, i really like how this mod has improved the realism of the instruments.
I have a newborn so haven't really had as much time to test as i would like, but the time i have had i was very pleased. I have a varied taste in music from rock, classical to hip hop and i just wanted to play more and more. I had time to test Spotify for a while and even on compressed material there was more definition and a sense of realism to the music...i love it!
Glad Stan is still looking into improving the Caiman, my listening experience is just getting better and better! :)
Hi Marc , how did you get your hands on the Silmilc Mod and what does it cost . I don't know whether to go for this or wait for the Bushmaster .
Brian.
I'll start a thread on the Silmic mod in a couple of days. So keep this frequency clear :).
Are you specifically referring to Silmic replacements for the caps on the Gator board, Stan? I replaced all the caps on the Caiman's main board with Silmics a long time ago, and it was a very good improvement in SQ.
Now you tell us :doh:.
The mod I devised is primarily aimed at those who have a SEG Caiman. The SEG case was made 2mm higher in order to accommodate the bigger silmic ;). But more about that later in the week.
LOL - it was a while ago, Stan:

I suppose 22 months ago is indeed a long while back :D.
But you tried it on the standard board. You should try that mod on the Gatorized board instead ;).
