In most cases, it's probably not a good idea. I definitely wouldn't touch it if it were still under warranty. I got a pair of 60's vintage ALTEC 1570B mono blocks and had them modded using Tom Tutay's mods. These mods made a considerable difference and turned old commercial amps into something special in my two-channel system.
Is It Worh Modding An Amp
I have a Primaluna Dialogue One that sits idle as a backup. I’m debating the idea of having it modded. Problem is I have no idea what can or should be upgraded or if the amp is worth the investment. Id be willing to fork over 500-1000 if it was worth it and made sense compared to what else I could do with the funds. Curious what people’s experiences and thoughts are?

@waytoomuchstuff clearly reflected my points of view on what not to do with pure nonsense ESPECIALLY about FUSE so figure out what's gonna happen after "upgrades".

Unless there is something deficient in the design, or parts have worn out, what is the point? I modded my Willsenton R8 integrated KT88 amp, upgrading and adding some parts (mainly resistors and audio path capacitors, and upgrading a choke) and I tube rolled it. I think it improved the sound a little and it improved the device reliability. |
