I had a chance to listen to the cap mod (lots of ELNA, Nichicon, Red German WIMA and silver MICA) of the version 1 ZERO. all I can say about the zero is very nice piece of works.
The transparency become very obvious and I like the way NILS LOFGREN pluck his acoustics, with conviction and weight. The vocal is more natural, meaty and overall it is very musical. Bass has more attack and more control. 1. Diode Bypass (reduce noise) 2. Stability and Noise killing mod for digital section (PS bypass replaced with Silver Mica) 3. Ground loop breaker mod (better caps) 4. More capacitance for the main analog stage, from 4400uF to 6600uF 5. More capacitance for the digital stage with Silmic II parallel, from 2000uF to 2330uF and bypass. 6. Cap replacement on analog output stage ![]() ![]() |

Pardon me but what is Sun, Earth, Moon and Clock refering too? 77 pages is too much to read. o.O
Also, when you guys connect your zero to amps, what setting you use. You set the zero to preamp mode? or is that mode only for the headphone jack? |

My first impression with OPA Earth is nothing short of surprises. Each time with the OPA release, the sound quality improve by another level.
The Moon OPA is more transparent, surprisingly than OPA Earth. The vocal is warm as in thick and airy. Listening to the Jazz at Pawnshop, the bells are not as bright as OPA Earth which is more neutral. The bass department is good too and dynamics response is so so only. Overall Moon does excell than OPA Earth. surprise. |

It seems as though OPA Moon fits the amp very well. If u have solid state amp, putting OPA Moon in it will furhter surprise u.
single ended class A is really making a difference. |
