WOW! I had to bypass board RCA jack mounts and directly connected good chassis mounted RCA jacks to where signal input and ground jumper wires terminate and I have MUSIC!! I have not done the VCT mod but I have no hum, still will probably do. The SOUND is GREAT even with minimal burn in and just using Bose shelf speakers!!! I am still building my Decware speakers, can't wait!!!! If anyone wonders if this is worth it my answer is a resounding YES!!!
