Great, I assume it's still in good condition?
Just opened the box - its in perfect condition...

You gain more respect from me for not dismissing what your ears are telling you and investigating further..
Right, I'll get my arse to the post office and send them via Parcelfarce on a next day to CZ. It'll cost me 40 quid but if it keeps you lot happy...
What's the theory here? If they are ferromagnetic then the resistor could become polarised?
Is this why some people de-gauss their kit? I note that Isotek sell a "Full System Enhancer CD" which they claim is used for demagnetising existing hi-fi components and rejuvenating the entire system. I have previously been inclined to think that this was snake oil territory.

Hi Steven, perhaps John could discount your upgrade costs and pass the balance onto us guys, it only seems fair to me...
Cheers for the effort at your end...

I’m still not happy with Johan’s unit; I “Feel” something is still holding it back… Maybe I should have added the resistors to Jems unit…

Will the Fusion option be only slightly better, if at all, or will it be positively eargasmic?
Presumably already with just the 4 bulk films you get both timing/depth AND texture/width.

you said: "so I’m now really suspecting the “Blue” 220R resistors as fitted to both units are at fault".
I've now lost track; are these different to the 4 resistors you are replacing with the Vishays?
If so, I guess you are going to try replacing those too . . . ?
Now I definitely want at least those 4xbulk films too . But, i'll wait how these tests play out.
...all those 13 units I've thus sent out will need to be return to me
It sounds as though a little trip to CZ is called for in late July or August, as you still have my MDAC packaging in the back of your car or somewhere
The "Blue 220R" resistors I refer to as the black unit's "prime suspects" are original components fitted to the black MDAC's - they are NOT part of the modifications (yet!!!).
The 120R Tyco / Dale resistors (the ones I've just change to Bulk Foil) are fitted as part of the upgrade process - so my bad
