anyone out there ever use the 4ru#10 board by purple audio in the master section? I've been on the fence about it for a while.
I replaced the master section in my Series 1E with that board a few years ago. It sounds great and?was well worth it, in my opinion.

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.? ?
