ie. PVR's etc.

On the power supply circuits (Consumer electronics > Power supply) I have submitted to www.eserviceinfo.com (username: RE-King), I have recommended upgrades, as well as suggested replacements for the electrolytic capacitors in most of them (especially those which use "unknown" or not-so well-known brand units).

Power supply mod had excellent tips, but getting into the opamps and dac got me thinking about buying high end to begin with.
