Title: Original Blue Torii upgrades? Post by Matchstikman on 09/01/16 at 20:12:25 Ok, so, this is 9/1/2016 and I'm asking about an amp released a long, long time ago.  I think I had the CCE mod done on it but I can't be certain.  My memory is not what it once was. So, can anything be upgraded?  Can I get the UFO transformers on it? I know, why not just get a new Torii, right?  Well, my Torii has been faithful for many years and I thought I'd ask.  I mean, you wouldn't throw out an old 57 Chevy and just buy a new one, would you?

I understand completely, a seasoned amp is something special, a few years on these amps and they start to bloom and grow more refined and more musical still. Modding that core seems a great idea. I had beeswax caps put into a seasoned Torii and it was a great thing to do.

That would mean a new chassis and probably would be tedious because if my mind serves me correctly, that amp uses a parallel combination of (2) each channel and they had to be matched by trial and error. Not bad when using the cheap ones Steve uses in their but expensive if wanting to run full output bass models. Sell it?  ::) Ya, sell it!
