jammy jamz wrote:what would the mod do, make them more sensitive, or quieter, or both?

i didnt know that you could marry components like that. by making them connect, i assume that the electrical current that is passing through the circut board is being filtered by those two pieces acting as one?
why you would choose to connect the two specific pieces like that?
jammy jamz wrote:another question
could you ballpark the figure of the cost of all the pieces you needed to perform the "operation"?

It would be interesting to hear a 'before & after' comparison.
Do you have another unmodified ART - Tube MP preamp for a
'shoot-out' type of comparison?
