As requested here is a series of graphic images of the inner workings of my Moth s45 SET amp (with bottom plate removed). The mods performed included replacing all Allen-Bradley carbon composition resistors in the signal path with Kiwame carbon film, replace the stock coupling caps with Exotica teflon caps and the use of CTC "Blowtorch" 99.999% pure silver wire for the point-to-point. The Alps 100k pot was replaced with a Borne 10k.

The amp is resting on the custom 22x14x2" Chevelle Black Granite I had cut. And as a teaser, you'll see in the background one of my Rosewood Silverline Sonatinas with a ASE TubeTrap flanking. Enjoy!

Here's another shot. A closeup of the Exotica teflon caps (BIG yellow suckers) and the Borne pot (blue jobbie). There are a couple of the 7.5k Kiwame resistors (lime green) behind the caps. The silver hookup wire comes across kind of fuzzy :-(
