The Super MOD improves the entire signal path up to the A/D chip. This includes replacing the low grade input capacitors with ultra HQ capacitors and the low slew rate JRC 2122 op amps are replaced with high slew rate, low noise and distortion op amps chosen by ear for the best performance. All ops amps and capacitors in the signal path up to the A/D chip are upgraded. Postage costs are quite high as the weight adds up and the battery charger in particular is heavy. Sorry.Am happy to arrange collection in person from Kilburn NW2 London area - If you do want to collect please wait before paying as I would prefer cash on collection rather than via paypal. Happy to post anywhere in EU. Please get in touch for postage quote for outside UK. General Specifications:RECORDING / PLAYBACK GENERALRecording Medium Compact Flash (CF) Card
