Maybe BMI song of the year. Or CMA song of the year. I would settle for a (smallish) legion of young, nubile, screaming female fans. My needs are simple these days. All you need are the free shots for that.

I remember this "shootout" and I wish I had the dry track because my hariball's sound amazing and I would put it up against any of those comps and I think they would better most easily. I do have LOTS of caps, parts, and wire upgrades though and are perfectly calibrated.

The biggest improvements come from upgrading all the signal coupling caps (no Wimas in the signal path no electorlytics) running separate shielded wires to and from the output pot, upgrading the output pot. (this is on the Hariball build) The input output transformers seem good sounding already but I have not compared it to say a cinamag.

The specific caps are: Rev A = C2 C7 C8 Rev D = C1 C7 C8
these are the caps that make the most difference...

I'm in the middle of trying a few things, winding some caps, but I do like the white ones I got from Mike at Hairball so far.. Not sure of the brand off hand... I don't like the Wima at all, they are GREAT caps but I don't! like the sound in this circuit.

Polystyrene is best for high frequency coupling only. Polypropylene would work and be clearer but the original design was for Polyester/Mylar which has a more thick vintage mid.

I'm gonna have to throw my FC526 hat in the ring. Maybe I can get littlesicily to process clips when I am down there in 2 weeks? I told Sal I would like him to listen to my new comp even though he doesn't have a 500 rack anymore. I'm thinking the FC526 may make him get back in!
