make your ceriatone come to life!!!

Post by sck1001931 »

this isn't a long topic but I thought should be shared.

I have a ceriatone sss, hrm, bluesmaster, and dumbleator. when you open them up most everything Is great quality components. 6ps orange drops, carbon comp hear and there, Vishay dale resistors....where ive found them lacking is the electrolytics.

Change the holy grail capacitors to Sprague atom and youll crap on yourself when you hear how much better it sounds. ive done other mods too but trust me when I say give it a shot. its one of the easiest and not too expensive things you can do to really take these amps to the next level!

Sprague atom electrolytic caps into your ceriatone for very great results.

just my 2 cents.

I have had similar results in other amps factory equipped with "Illinois" caps. Illinois, Asia maybe. This is a solid tip.

This is too funny because I've heard bad things about using Sprague e-caps and I use Illinois e-caps as often as I can. :lol:

I do too.

One of the guys on the Hoffman forum cut open a Sprague Atom. Turns out that the "larger" outer shell had a much smaller inner part.

With respect, 10thtx
