Have completed a recap and refurb of a 888. It was pretty cheap as it had no knobs...(now I need to find some of those somewhere...!) Did a full recap - including some with Silmics, also replaced all the 8002s and 9002's with MJE340 and 350. The only other non-factory change I made was install a new bridge made from 4 x MUR860s and replaced C737 on the driver boards with a poly cap.
Are there other mods that I can make to this? Would the Kevzep mods for the 999 work on this? How about replacing some of the paralleling ceramic caps on the driver board with polystyrenes (another sucessful 999 mod).
Overall Im pretty impressed that it took a lot less work than refurbing a 999 to make this amp sound this good. Its very neutral and has heaps of "space." Nice detail and its very revealing with recordings. More bottom end than a standard 999 too.
