For the widener i don't like the plugin i use, it works but it does not sound pleasent to my ears. The idea is using my comps for mix bus and to have the widener with it in the analog path. It does not need to be very complex with a lot of features so it could be not much expensive. Beeing able to center the low end would be super cool though, and M/S.

The limiter it's a bit tricky cause i have a free plugin that is stunning so i don't need one but if it can be added to a widener and works as amazingly as my plugin it would be tremendous.

I already have two CP5176 and two MU524, they sound super cool but matching them is not super easy, plus a stereo comp should be less expensive maybe. I would be more on the stereo fet.

I would love an analog chorus that i can use with my guitar or for mixing. I have no valuable reasons for that but i would pull the trigger for a pair.

A 10 slots lunchbox with faders pan and aux sends in differents racks 

Some 19 racks (everything tubes)

Also maybe some other kind of products like a bass head amp (solid state first), guitar head amps...

Thank you for these suggestions, they are much appreciated. We are constantly thinking about what the next module should be.

Stereo width module: already considered. What do you think would be the advantage of analog over plugin?
Stereo fet compressor: It is already available in the form of 2 CP5176. Same thing with the varimu.
Analog chorus: Really? This would also needs a stereo module. Would you use it on stage or in the studio?
Analog delay: I think the best delays are digital (like Eventide).

Here is a list of modules i wish!

 - A stereo width module, with the ability to center the low end, something like the TK audio M/S station maybe with a limiter added and the possibility to switch before or after.

- A stereo fet compressor would be pretty cool. (a varimu stereo comp too)

- A analog chorus, something like the Pope audio dirty C would be super cool.

- Maybe an analog delay too.

Cheers!

Got it. I know what to get for the C20, then. Thanks.

10% tolerance is enough for these DC removing tantalum caps.
Electrolytic aluminum caps are generally 20%.
Ceramic and film are 5%, 10% or 20% depending on their role.

It does make sense!
What we do is remove the cover of the XLR plug to access the pins and connect the meter to them.

Another question: what tolerance is recommended for the capacitors? 1%, 5%, 10%, or is 20% fine, too? Do tolerances differ for different kinds of capacitors used in these audio units, or is it the same pretty much across the board? Thanks.

Ah I see, that makes more sense. 

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but at which points do I measure the voltage? If the XLR is plugged in to the preamp while sending a signal, I’m not sure where to measure. 

I hope that makes sense!

Thanks for your patience!
