Hi All
(i) Is it worth trying to upgrade the sonics of the first generation model 5234 - electronic crossover ?
(ii) If so , what areas are most effective in a component swap ? Is this a job of replacing cap type and/or bypassing the present caps ? What about the IC(s) and/or transistors ? Any recommended types or brand names ?
(iii) As an addendum - can the present 12 db cards , be stripped of their present components, and then converted to LR slopes ( or maybe Bessel ) with replacement RC(s) of appropriate values ?
- If so, is there a RC deriving formula (vs whats in the 5234 manual for Butterworth slopes) for determining the resistor and capacitor values for the LR or Bessel slopes ?
Thanks <> Earl K :)
