You can search the pinoy and wiredstate site, there is a lot of thread regarding upgrade. For A70T You need to change 2pc 0.1uf, 2pc 0.33uf and 4pc 0.22uf. Better bring your amp to our shop so we can check the innards. pls call 631-0679 and talk with our tech guys...

Cheers

By the way, we are the exclusive distributor of mundorf here in PI

Real Caps sir.
Before jumping in, here are some capacitor review. Different maker and model, different sound character. Look for the caps that suite your listening bias. you'll also noticed that a lot of those caps are cheap but sonically outstanding

the best money can buy......

in my hierarchy of dielectrics, it is Teflon, polycarbonate, and polypropylenes in that order....

I got a picture of Cayin A70-T circuits. To mke this discussion easy. Yeah the coupling caps are REALCAPS .There are two Nichicon VX(M) caps in the pre amp section.Anyone know what is their role?
But how to post a picture in here?

Has any one done the recapping before? I too believe in not disturbing a perfectly working system.Adam what is the result I can expect if I recap the pre amp capacitors? What change it will bring to sound ?

Depends on the caps you use. Some caps will improved the soundstage and nuances, others will make it a tad bright, etc. All this are good depending on system matching. Asked around which cap is better for your system. Read the end user testimonials, they experience n heard the modification and dont listen to hearsay lol

You need to replace 6 pcs 0.22uF and 2 pcs 0.1uF. Price depends what kind of mundorf. for silver-oil, Total price is P12,684.90

Cheers

There is this guy who posted in AK and changed what he said as PS bypass cap labeled 'Swellong' to 0.47uF Mundorf. I believe it was never mentioned in this forum about changing that particular cap. Any benefit of changing that "Swellong"?
This is that AK post http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=482147&page=2

Another question. Are those 2x0.1uF caps to bypass the feedback resistors? If so, that same guy used silver mica. Any real advantage with mundorf?

Thanks.

yes you can, just use 3.5mm to RCA cable.

acespino2000 · « **Reply #779 on:** Nov 09, 2015 at 12:32 PM »

Which do you think is better?

1) cayin la34 + Cambridge audio CXN + BW 685 or

2) cayin cs55 + BW 685

Pareho Lang price both set up, just not sure if the LA34 amp will be sufficient to drive the BWs.

Both meant for laptop/iPhone playback.

Regards!
