Big Mistake (could be expensive)
Posted by: i am simon 2 on 19 September 2002
I made a big mistake last night that is going to cost me a few hundred pounds.
I borrowed a HiCap.
It seems that at some point between me plugging it in to the 42.5, and turning it on, some hi-fi benefactor must have sneaked into my lounge and replaced my hifi for a much better one.
My existing components cant make the noise these new one make, thing is they look identical, and all I have done is given the pre amp a better power supply.
Has any one else experinced this?
I might have to buy a hi cap now.
I emplore anyone running older kit to high cap the pre. I have been in the wilderness too long, now I am back in the fold.

I got the same experience when I hicapped my cd5. 
Hi Simon
I've looked at your problem and I think it may go deeper than "just" this hi-cap you speak about. I actually think I've managed to trace your mistake right back to when you first purchased that 42.5/160. You were completely doomed from that point

Yabba, dabba, doooooo
