HI John
The tuner I have is the kenwood kt-7500. I believe, based on reading about it at FMtunerinfo.com & corresponding with some folk who have had it modded, that some mods do benegit it sonically. Mainly, i think they are the power caps mod (as you mentioned) and in one case, shortening the signal path. ANother mod involves changing the opamp, which should make a difference.
I think there are some mods that work, and many that don't (since you asked for my opinion...always a dangerous thing to do!). I don't really know about coupling caps....i am planning to put auricaps on my kit tube amp (pusxh-pull 6bm8 k-503 from AES) amp, but will it make a difference? I don't know. I have never yet been able to hea the difference with a power cord. I think most speaker cables sound the same (I use transparent becuase they seem to lower my noise floor and bring out more detail). I do use little gel bases from bright star...tehy are cheap, and i figure tey can;t hurt. HAve they made a difference? not really sure, but if any vibrations do exisit, I am sure they do a good job of absorbing them. I mainly use them with the tube amps to reduce microphonics. I also use cheap tube dampers.
Overall, i am now evolving, after about 2 years in this hobby, into just being happy with what I have, and not restlessly trying for more. Just enjoying the music, and once in a way buying vintage stuff, like the yamaha amp I just bought...
what do you think about mods?Which ones do you use?
