Default I believe now

I have had Minis under my K-03x for over a year and can’t say I heard any difference before and after. Well...

Today I installed some Ultra SS Blacks on my MC2301s and placed Black Minis under my C1100.

I followed Bob’s (Vintage_Tube’s) advice and removed the bottom cover of the MC2301s then installed the Ultra SSs. Worked great although my pressed on nuts stayed put.

Here are some pics of the in-process. While I had the cover off, I snapped a picture of the underbelly of the MC2301. The voltage jumpers are clearly visible and would making changing voltage very easy.

Finally, just because.

As for the sound improvement:

Everything became better. Blacker background with cleaner & clearer separation of the instruments in space. The music sounds more at ease.

Now I am saving for more minis to isolate my SilenZio, G-02 clock and CR-1 crossover.
