    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Thanks for the input. Actually we haven't done the mods yet due to scarcity of audio grade caps from Nichicon here, and what i think Dr.Mick was referring to here was being extremely gentle while twisting and pulling the caps obviously and i have tried it with a lot of success ( no damage to any...

    JBL Studio 530 Speaker Review

    Also is the original stock iron core/steel core enough to be replaced back or would you suggest buying new Dayton Audio 1.5mh iron core inductors so that the bass improves and gets its heft back.

    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    The USB slot works fine with external storage, having used it with a 64gb pendrive with FLAC files does a pretty good job( not sure if there's a bottle neck here while using FLAC).Have used an external hard drive without any hiccups and it sounds ok. However it sounds best using Aux. Will be...

    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Really sorry to bother you Sir. I tried searching YT for videos on mods for the A100 but couldn't find even one, also tried searching for pics that show the parts (exact ones) that need to be replaced with the better Nichicons and couldn't find any. Do you have any specific pics or videos that...

    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Thanks a ton for all the inputs. I am not very keen on Bi amping as my speakers don't support them.So adding the chokes is out of question here just like u suggested. Next I'm going to surely start searching for the Nichicon caps in India and have them changed by a capable tech guy. You have no...

    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Dear Sir, Need your guidance with regards to the addition of chokes on this amp. Even without these chokes I'm really enjoying the SQ ,using the amp to power a pair of JBL STAGE A130 speakers. Do you think it would be better if i add these chokes / inductors before the output stage & if it would...

    SMSL A100 Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Completely agree with you that A100 is surely better than the Aiyima A07....Infact i was on the verge of selling this amp after letting it sit in storage after buying it ( had only used it for 45 minutes after it got delivered to check if all was fine). But thank God for having come across your...
