I just had Richard Zeier, a former employee of Martin Sound who used to make Neotek consoles, modify my Neotek Elite (again). Before having Richard do the mods, other "mod guys" told me the long laundry list of things they would do to the Neotek. But when I asked if they had worked on one.. things got sketchy. Richard has built these consoles from the ground up and knows them as well as anyone. Basically, all the TL07x's are swapped out with Burr Browns in both the master, monitor, and line input channels. Depending on the use, different BB opamps were utilized. All the electrolytics are replaced with Nichicon HE's with WIMA bypass caps. Certain caps are bypassed. A new audiophile transistor package was put in the balanced out of the master section. It is beyond a night and day difference. The master section alone will make your kick drums sound beefier and thicker and more present, all your ambience and depth will become way more noticeable. the lower mids will lose their GUNK and remain crystal clear, and the top end will be smoother and deeper. It was very affordable for the mods considering how world class this console sounds, and I recommend that if you are serious about your audio then get some upgrades done, starting with the master and monitor sections, then doing some channels.
