haha i bought myself an ATP3 'new' version! wow its sux like vs4121

enjoy the view everyone!

compare yourself lor

old batch/new batch

good job modding! =)
you have good skills soldering
but... you must replace the caps nearest to the amp chips first to get better results...
and DO NOT use maxcap, (no need give face to your father's clients) they are shit...as good/bad as the stock ones
you must replace the caps in pairs/region at least with same brand and value according to channel
if you do it random, your sound will run like hell... it suppose to sound transparent and 'surround' sound at the end of your mod
0.68uf are hard to find, so you can just leave them stock
do not change value of caps!
caps salvaged from mobos sounds terrible if use anywhere in the circuit other than power filtering, eg. 100uf and the ones BIG circled in your case...
unless they are pana fc,fl,fg do not use caps salvaged from mobos
my advise is to replace all the 2.2uf,1uf and 4.7uf first save the good caps towards the amp chip
try not to use black colored caps, they are color coded as general purpose caps and will sound very bad!

oh, and thanks for sharing =)

np, for your set, the 'good' parts are usually blue/yellow elna found in clarion, blaupunk cassette/cd car headunit..
old sony cassette deck hi-fi also has parts, regular blue nichicons
don't use rubycons.... especially the light blue ones.... they sound super harsh

warranty only lar! =)
i also dizzy guessworking your problems haha

3.5 to 3.5 longer than 1 meter is harder to find
3.5 to rca is common....

ok now i know harvey norman has them.... i was pissed that careforu and places like that dun haf
so i made them meself

lol, lifetime warranty just ran out =)
sell me your 5021 pecah sound set!!

pm sell for me =) i buy it as is =)

said by a person who happens to be a big fan of edi...(jenama *toot*)

how come can fail when not owned? haha =)
what fail la? see i can fix anot?

its a good set for computer.. you should mod it to get fuller potential....
do the jimmy's mod for 5021. it makes your set very good

if you want to change to another set. not very worth it... cause the parts nowadays all china china
outside might be nicer than 5021, but parts inside is stinks
unless you plan to move on to another category of non-multimedia speakers....... =)

1) you can buy the parts from rs or farnell
if you buy regular parts, it won't set you back much

2) no, its not like a kancil, and the difference is huge (i modded b4)

3) for cap replacement you only need soldering (20/100) skill points
it takes a few days to find parts,order and wait for it to arrive. 30-1hr to replace for noobie

you have undaead power filter caps
you need a soldering shotgun

i'll try to help you guys out on acs45.1 =)

also, remember to check for dry soldah!

on upgrades, the stock 4558 is good for this one, no need to waste money on this one. anyway the dirty bass attribute (counter strike sound) comes much from it.

=) hope its works you goodluck have fun

lol replacing the amp is not as easy as opamp swappers

thats why i say its not as easy as you think it is =)
take you there is far, tell you is long story...
=)

i don't know if i'm any good help round here....
i'll never agree on anything stock condition heh.
lousy connectors, crappy volume controls, etc..
but then again... not really worth fixing/modding it unless you really MISS the counter strike sound =)

have fun =)
