Hi all, I thought I would post a quick update after completing a couple upgrades with some photos for reference in case anyone wants to do this in the future. I decided to do the XLR input upgrade which included relocating the input transformers to the inside of the amp versus surface mounting so I could also add a tape output. My DAC has XLR outputs so I thought this would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I used the holes originally intended for the input transformers as a spot to add RCA jacks as a line-level tape output from the selector switch outputs to run into my Crack/Speedball.

Paul provided a cad file to create a plate to mount the input transformers to the inside of the amp. I created a template from that using Adobe Illustrator and spray mounted it to a piece of sheet metal I had laying around my garage and cut it out.


Overall, sounds and looks great! Thanks again Paul for the help!
