current ALTEC Lansing is under Plantronics, hopes the up comming models (such as MX6021 Expressionist Ultra) will become leader again thumbup.gif

you use headphone output or RCA output from TV?
if headphone output, lower down TV Volume because line signal too strong caused sound "clipping".

it looks similar to 4100 inside but unfortunately i am not much of a help =(
this place has a better idea for you http://duskblue616.pixnet.net/blog/post/14507867
looks like you'll need a major recap for the all the caps inside is lausy make in taiwan/china
as usual my idea of mod always starts at recapping the signal path first, powerfilter 2nd last and opamps last
cables and interconnects optional =) unless faulty
also, if you manage to get your hands on 50v 2.2uf elna,nichicon audio grade caps, and around selangor area i wanna bulk with yoo =)
because when i change the value, the sounds kelong

that is very informative, thx!!
so far i never touch the electronics inside
its time to get busy during semester break brows.gif
target is... edifier midrange S530D

siap my diy mod
no pic becos didn't prepare camera, already pasang balik all biggrin.gif
next time i take first

got my capacitors from old player and use LAN cable as subwoofer cable (experiment)
this is not a true sucessful one, bring in something good and some new problems.

good:
no hiss at MAX volume liao (unplug source)
instrument seperation at higher treble

bad:
"pak pak pak" sound for each volume step i increase or decrease rclxub.gif dulu don't have
tweeter response dragggg...... a bit "slower" become harsh

now let it run for a few hours, hope to see improvement biggrin.gif

why la no pics =( faster go open balik
are you sure you used the correct/still good condition components? you shouldn't get pak pak and slow tweets if good mod
if using 2nd hand components no need to burn/run in. should be good to go

i am so happy that i didnt BBQ it yet
now i am so sad becos the sound is V shape heavvy boom (minumum at sub knob) & sharp *ting ting* but vocal gone far away not balance at all was using free parts, so now its time to shopping
solved by one 0.47uf cap, lolz biggrin.gif
