Hi Gazjam,

Any pics of the upgrades?

Which caps do they replace?

I had my Dac modded (for the second time) by Tirna Electronics.

I had teh two regulators upgraded to Mutara Regulators, and the caps changed to Rubycon caps.

Also, I had Wilma caps swapped in too.

The costs were:
Regulator upgrade £20
Rubycons/WIMA £15
Insured delivery £8.50

Unfortuntely though these upgrades were part of a limited "group buy", where one forum member bought in a load of components and distributed them amogst participating members.
There were problems with availablility and cost , which were worked around with a bulk buy from America (I believe).

I believe to buy the components singly would be difficult and costly.


But any component upgrade you require I would recommend Tirna.
I am hopeless with a soldering iron so leave it to the experts!


How do you like your Caiman?


By the way, Your Pioneer Amp?
Is it the Tom Evans Precision model? I had an A400 which I liked a lot and I wonder how the A300 sounds..
