More Mikes X-CAN mods

[andyr]

Just to say thanks Mike for sending me the upgrade kit so quickly.
I'm like a little child when I get something new. So I removed all the caps, then when I'd put a few new ones in, I discovered I'd lost my side cutters . Anyway, if in doubt, carry on regardless. So, after using a twenty year old soldering iron, and the cutting section of long nose pliers, the track side of the PCBs, look like an 'electronic blood bath'. The component side looks cracking though, and best of all, it all works and sounds bloody great.

By the way, is it me, or does the amp run cooler with the mods?

Thanks Mike also for taking the time to test and produce these kits.

Hi Andy,

Well done, maybe a good idea to tidy things up next time you have a pair of snips to hand

Will do. Looking at the mess I've made, its hard to believe that I used to be an electronics engineer. That was many moons ago though.
