Personally, I prefer the sound of a C-4 over the C-2 or a C-2a. Have yet to audition a C-2x.:thmbsp:
From what I've heard, listening to the C2a and C4, I probably agree with you.

Glad to hear your enjoyment continues. My C-4 makes me happy many hours pretty much every day. To me a C-4 in really good state is something pretty special. Quite apart from the fine sound they are just really nice to work with.It has been more than 5 months since my last post. But I love the C4 after the recap. I doubt that the C2A will outperform the C4. Maybe a CX 1000 will, but I doubt that....
I dropped the C2A.....
Do you remember what elnas and nichicons did you used?So I droppped the C2a project and recapped the C4 using elnas and nichicons, cleaned the switches. The recap improved the sound a lot.:thmbsp: Very nice soundstage!
How can you solder the boards togheter?do you mean replacing the wires with copper wiring maybe?I will try to find my notes, otherwise I have the order list included the caps for the C2A.
About the C-4 now....It has incredibly improved after the recap. The soundstage is huge and the treble is sooo sweet, I can’t believe my ears . The channel separation is also great, and improved after the recap. Musical pieces sound dead quiet when they supposed to be. I’ve tested with the cd’s “Morning Phase” and “Sea Change” from Beck and several AIR cd’s. The phono section is also very very good, I’ve listened to the Privateering Album from Mark Knopfler and The Last Ship from Sting. I guess that the phono section of the CA 1000II was already great as I did not find the improvement a lot, but your cd will sound analog!!!
Now that I am so enthusiastic I wonder what kind of improvements I can make to make the C4 even better. Fiddlefye suggested to replace certain diodes and solder the boards directly. Not that I will tear the C4 apart again…I have too much fun listening…..
Please tell what caps did you use a d where.i reccaped my c4 with elna silmics and i think it sounded better with the orig caps..It has been more than 5 months since my last post.
