I've recapped several receivers, tuners, amps and been pleased with the improvement in sound. But what about upgrading other components, using Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diodes, Schottky Diodes, etc. Does one need to know precisely when/where to use them? Modders like Musical Concepts mention that they upgrade diodes and also use hi-quality resistors in specific places.
Any clues as to proper use of these upgraded components? Is it possible to denigrate the sound with wrong selection of upgrade parts (well, yes, probably - so what are the pitfalls and how does one avoid them?)
Thanks!

Recapping is one thing, such as replacing poor quality ones that are constantly being used in todays electronics to save dollars. This upgrade can help in both quality and reliability. Other parts replacement can be hit and miss. So there is no guarantee of any improvement for your time and money. |

What you want to do is P.O.O.G.E your gear. Progressive Optimization Of Generic Electronics. Here is part of a book I got on POOGE'ing   |

Is there any real advantage to be had in replacing capacitors in a Harman/Kardon AVR?
