This is a Power Supply and Output Stage upgrade kit for the NAD 4155 Tuner. This upgrade kit was designed by an audiophile for an audiophile and can be easily installed by those with no electronics knowledge or soldering experience and promises to DRAMATICALLY elevate the level of performance from this tuner or your money back!I also offer upgrade kits for other FM tuners as well upgrade kits for several other products, so take a look at my other items ! In addition, I only charge actual shipping (no packaging or handling charges) and offer combined shipping. So, let me know what you would like and I will send you a shipping quote. The purpose of this FM tuner upgrade kit may cause some confusion, so I want to clarify. T are basically two types of modifications to FM tuners. The first, improves an FM tuners ability to receive more stations. Such a modification will do just that, but will do nothing whatsoever to improve the musicality of any FM stereo signal you already receive. In fact; such a modification may degrade the level of musicality. The second type of modification, which this upgrade kit will do, greatly improves the musicality of the FM stereo signals your tuner already receives. WHAT THIS UPGRADE KIT DOES: This upgrade kit replaces the corrupting parts in this tuner, the capacitors and replaces three of them with vastly superior sounding caps. That's right! Of the many capacitors and other parts in this tuner, only these three capacitors are replaced (1 cap in the power supply and 2 caps in the output stage) as this is all that is needed to dramatically elevate its level of performance. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO HEAR! - More cont and natural sound that is fluid, sweet and very clear - No more dirty, sibilant, hard, bright irritating sound!- Greater soundstage width and depth - Vocalist and instruments appear in a huge well defined 3-dimensional space! - Much greater focus and separation of vocalist and instruments - Images are rock solid within their own individual space! - Greater recording hall ambiance - Vocalist and instruments come from the hall positions you anticipate! - Greater revealing of subtleties and inner detail - Vocalist and instruments ring with harmonics and inner details that were previously masked! - Improved bass articulation, weight and slam - Bass is much stronger, fuller and faster with greater details! - Wider dynamics at any volume - Dynamics seem unlimited, yet the sound remains fluid, sweet and very clear! KIT INCLUDES: - Easy step by step installation manual - Full tech support - Electrolytic capacitors (1) - Bi-polar electrolytic capacitors (2) - Desoldering braid - 60/40 rosin core solder SOLDERING This upgrade kit can easily and successfully be installed by even the novice. However, this upgrade kit requires electronic soldering. If you have never soldered before, don't fear. Soldering is very easy to perform and anyone can do it!
