Hey mic,

Indeed this will work.  (I'm planning on doing it myself when I get around to it.)

 

Without bothering you with the how and why, suffice to say if you went to a radio shack or went online to www.digikey.com you can get the said capacitors.  It isn't difficult to do.  You can't really roach anything until you try and resolder them back.  If you've got a local electronics guy pay him $10 and $10-$15 in materials and you'll be ready to go.

 

~peace~

i just read this in a rang review at harmony-central.com

<< As to the sound quality, let me add that there is an option from the factory to upgrade the 'chip'. This is supposed to improve the bit level from 8 bit to 16 bit - I think. This would be identified as the newer Boomerang, labeled the 'Boomerang+'. By all means, I suppose, get the newer one for the bit rate increase. However, as I was about to do this - get the upgrade - I considered instead replacing every electrolytic cap on the circuit board with polyester instead. Trust me, there are maybe 10 1uf caps onboard the PCB that can be replaced with amazing sonic results! After replacing these I plugged the Boomerang in and realized that this was a very smart thing to do. The sound quality improved greatly - to the point that I honestly couldn't imagine things getting any better. Yeah, I know, seems unlikely, but that's my story - I'm sticking to it.>>

i wouldn't know an elecrolytic cap from a baseball cap but perhaps one of you electro gurus out there may have an idea if this be so or not.....rangers want to know!.....tanks.....mic
