variablefeedback Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Anyone had tried to upgrade their Shinco 8700PS to better parts?
Guest duckling Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 There is a sticker on the front panel that says "Intelligent Upgrade". I guess they're talking abt firmware upgrade.
variablefeedback Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 yes ... and also internal hardware upgrades. parts liek capacitors , op-amps ... things like that.
Norman_Chan Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Wah ! So fast want to put this player on the operating table to play-play huh .... What did you don't like about this player that you wish to upgrade ???
variablefeedback Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 aiyah .. i think hor, no one had done it yet. ok ... i try to open it up for inspection these few nites. me busy lor, preparing for my wedding. mmmm........ i think i dun like it becos it is MADE IN CHINA from a CHINESE COMPANY! If it is Marantz, made in China, it's ok, but not from a chinese company. Anyway, ionce i strip her naked, i will see what she is made of. I will take naked pictures of her. Then we will admire her inner beauties, or criticise her for cheating our $$$ .... Beginning to sounds like Sammy's forum ...... kekekeke :P Till then, cheers.
Norman_Chan Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Huh ... you also regular in Sammy forum ... :D ;D :D ;D
variablefeedback Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 Huh ... you also regular in Sammy forum ... :D ;D :D ;D me reader only. i admire that forum becos everyone is so co-operative, sharing, caring. Of course, there are ppl there who just take, never gives....pui pui pui (spitting). Anyway, I had stripped her open liao. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THIS UNIT FOR MODIFICATION. THERE ARE NOTHING MUCH TO MOD BECOS MOST OF THE CHIPS ARE SURFACE MOUNTED (SMD). DO NOT TOUCH THE SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY. I CAN ONLY SAY YOU CAN CHANGE THE 27uF,400V CAP BEFORE THE POWER SUPPLY. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE, SO I DIDN'T BOTHER. YOU CAN DEFINITELY REPLACED THE SMALL HEATSINK WITHA BIGGER LOW ONE. THE ORIGINAL IS A JOKE. I NOW USE A MAINS CONDITIONER TO GOOD EFFECT FOR SHINCO ONLY. SO FAAR, "FINAL FANTASY' LOOKS GOOD. I ALSO APPLIED SOME 'LOCKTIGHT" TO ALL THE SCREWS IN THE UNITS. AFTER ALL THESE MOD, THE BASS OF THE UNIT IS NOT SO POWERFUL. GOOD OR BAD, U DECIDE. ALL I CAN SAY IS: LEAVE THIS UNIT ALONE. DO ALL TEH MOD OUTSIDE. I will post the pics soon in another thread as someone had already opened her up. I second that: The difference in sound volume is due to the specs of those outputs. Just normal. The analog is softer/lower in level.
forests_gump Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Anyone know of any unofficial website for 8700ps? Else anyone here interested to who wants to be the first on this EARTH to do. Guarantee to have especially high hits rate!!!
