Sparkos Labs module measurements

Or do one channel and compare it to the other.

You could, but you miss out on the Stereo separation since to be "fair", you would have to run it in mono.

There are 2 caps per L&R channel, but only one 22 ohm 1/2 watt resistor in the kit. The resistor replaces RE73, a 100 Ohm resistor.

I don't think I could get away with a decent comparison, if I only do one channel first, based on the value of RE73.

EDIT: These don't say Shumacher on them, anywhere I can find:

That resistor is just for power so it wouldn't make any difference. I'm glad they got rid of the "eyesore" logo from them. These are in my Sansui 9090DB

Good point!

Went ahead and installed the Sparkos kit in my 2275 this evening.

Recently recapped PE01:

Sparkos kit installed:

Will continue testing it this weekend, it's definitely not worse, sounds cleaner, lower noise floor. Can turn up input louder now.
