Valve Junior Upgrade kits?

Hi.

 

I noticed some places sell VJ upgrade kits (can't find the link now though) consisting of a Valve Junior blank board and all the components. I don't know much about these. Do they tend to come with better components, or the V3 layout, etc? Is it worth taking my DC rectifier + 200uF C6 modded V1 and throwing in a fresh board with new components? (I have the V3 OT in there)

 

I also noticed the VJ uses diodes for a rectifier, instead of a silicon bridge rectifier IC (which is just 4 diodes anyway). Opinions on that?

turretboards.com has some great stuff. I'm getting an unloaded board from them.

components are better than stock vjs.

values are for M F or V typically, so the tweaking's done in advance.

 

I'm getting a board so I can add a 6V6 tube.

It really depends on what you've done.. if your amp is modded now, you'd just be remodding it.

Unless you've modded and patched your poor old board to death, in which case a turretboard is like getting a heart transplant, except it's a brand new heart, custom engineered any way you see fit. Now if only we could do that for people!
