Bel Canto evo's

Muralman1 - Was the evo in monoblock form? Also did it have upgraded power cords?

And which eVo was it? The eVo2 is much better than the 200.2, especially if you use only one.

I've got both the evo 200.2 stereo and stratos right now and a second evo on the way. It sounds good stock and even better with modifications, vibration isolation and upgrded power cord. So far I like the TG Audio SLVR power cord the best. Ugrades I've done include high quality (solen auricap) capcitors in the power supply and 3M vibration sheets inside. The caps made a huge improvement for $100 I highly recommend it.

The Stratos is very very good also. It's one of those amps where you just enjoy listening to the music and don't really think about the system playing it.

Morasp,

I been looking for recomendations on PWR cords thanks
for mentioning. I was also told by someone to try the
Eichmann Xpress cords. They are what the BC guys are
running on their own sytems. Is the cap upgrade something
that is effective for EVO2 as well as the 200.2? I know
they did change the PS section for the EVO2-6.

Thanks...

The SLVR was my favorite out of a lot of highll regarded cords including palladium and elrod standard. It was the cheapest also. They all were very good however. I don't know about the evo2, when I auditioned it one of the allen screws was stripped and I couldn't look inside. I would think it would help as the solen and Auricap are only 100, 10, and 1 uF placed close to the TRIPATH module for current demands during fast transients and on the 200.2 at least all of the bulk capacitance was spaced quite a ways from the module. Any wiring between the capactiors and the module will have be inductive with an impedance that will cause the voltage to droop during transients.
