    Default Amp upgrades

    To anyone that can help.

    I have a Jolida 202B thats pushing a pair of LSi-15 and a pair PSW404 subwoofers. My question is whats the easiest upgrade I can do (aside from tube rolling) I can do to this set up. I don't have a lot of soldering experience but want to get better so I figured I would start small and work my way to harder projects. I have been thinking of changing the binding posts on the amp fist as it looks to be the easiest. But, after that I have no idea what to try next. Its between the Caps in the amp or the LSi's. Please let me know if there are any other easy things I can try and which of the 3 I have mentioned will make the biggest difference. OBTW I currently like the lay back stile of the LSi+Tube combo. Will changing the Caps make the speakers/amp sound bright and harsh?

    Thanks for the Help!
    If life had more tubes it would be a lot smoother.

    FIRST(not trying to pic a fight), I'd just mess around with SCRAP to get the hang of soldering. No need in ruining good gear.
    Then I'd do the XO's. When you feel comfortable in your abilities, start tinkering with amps and such.
    One other thing-YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR TOOLS! If you're REALLY good, you can make crap tools work for you. If not-I'm not going to finish this because it's self explanatory. Good luck with that project and remember-ASK QUESTIONS TWICE, solder once.

    EBAY is like cocaine. At first you only look, next thing you know, your house is full of crap you have no idea why you own.
