What i have learned over the years is that every piece of equipment, regardsless how good and expensive it is, can be much improved with better parts. Has anyone attempted to do any tweaks to their amps? To be honest when looking at pictures of the inside of the amp I'd hesitate to touch anything but maybe small tweaks like better fuses, if there are any inside or changing the stock binding posts with purer sounding nexgen ones.
Looking forward to your comments and suggestions!

BTW, haven't seen him for a while. Are you still around Manoet?

Yes, very much still around but more passive than active these days. D200 has been flawless since completion and an absolutely stunning performer in every way without so much as a single issue or hiccup! Still want to experiment with converting the D200 to a 250 power-wise but due to other interests/pursuits that project will dictate being postponed till late May or early June. Would be nice if I could do it completely from the Configurator but am unsure. It certainly runs cool enough to easily double the power due to convection cooling without thermal issues but things seldom work out as I'd prefer. I'll update when/if that occurs.
Statements in my posts are opinion only, not to be construed as fact. Any projects I engage in are at my own risk! Their outcome cannot be assured and may result in success, small/no change or catastrophic failure. I encourage no one rely on anything I say or do as gospel and to realize your mileage may vary!

I have been tempted to bypass the speaker terminals and connect directly to the cable shoe on the riser board. I am still contemplating how to do this in a good, safe and easily revertible way. And of course the fuses or perhaps change the IEC inlet completely. I think Manoet has a description of this.

Thanks for the pic. Have never seen smd fuses. Nothing to tweak here i guess.

Soundwise I think fuses soldered directly onto the pcb are much better than the standard fuses and fuseholder
