On the EQP-KT we offer a wonderful circuit upgrade
that really smooths out this reproduction equalizer making it great for any
number of applications.
We put a lot of love into the mods on this one as with
all of our modifications, to squeeze out the maximum performance possible.
While the design is not authentic to an original these
sound fairly nice for the money, however the cost cutting measures small up the
sound while making the unit sound brittle and lack luster when boosting when
compared to the original.
A big lacking element in these reproductions seems to
be in the passive filter sections where the low end is really not very large or
musical.
The approach we use is fairly similar to the EQP Warm
Audio modifications we perform.
With the modifications we remedy these issues and
really bring out the Pultec in these.
About the design:
The EQP-KT utilizes Midas input and output
transformers and is currently produced By Music Group who bought out Klark
Teknik and a handful of other companies.
The modifications we perform on the circuit are very
similar to our highly regarded Warm Audio EQP modifications!
The circuit is fairly close to the original but as
with most Chinese manufactured units, the quality of the components leaves the
sound in the Wanting category.
One short cut beyond the quality of components is the
lack of an interstage transformer.
The interstage transformer while not necessary for the
gain of the design, did impart a fair amount of color and offered nice
de-coupling for DC between the EQ and amp stage.
We address this in Proprietary way that really brings
the warmth back to design in this section.
Our modifications bring back the low end, smooth out
the top end of the equalizer and bring back the character to the design.
The Results:
The service increases the headroom of the unit, widens
the frequency response, smoothes out the Filters response across all bands.
About The modifications:
We do a complete audio path upgrade using premium
parts for lower noise and higher headroom as well as lower distortion.
All Audio caps, filters are swapped out for better
performance using Panasonic Parts and Wima Capacitors in the audio path for
more authenticity in value and operation.
This includes all filters as well and really is the
Bees-Knees.
Bypassing is performed where necessary for lower noise
in the power supply.
Power supply modifications are also performed Thru out
for the lowest possible noise figures in the overall design and better current
delivery.
Tubes
are then swapped for more complimentary versions in the design in terms of
authenticity.
