did some hard surface mount bypass on the 3D-Y/C card with silver mica caps.

Nope, sorry, didn't understand that bit.

(thanks to many chips working together to improve chroma bandwidth).

Is this similar to the Faroudja bandwidth expansion?  If so, cool!

It was originally a full scaler yes but the output cards has been removed and motherboard changed to one that is just a doubler with many fewer chips and regulators.

Does this mean that it's still a progressive output?

Now it only does 5xBnc composite input and 1xS-video output.

I think Laserman mentioned something about the S-video and RCA connectors not giving accurate 75 ohms.  Would it be a good idea to use 2 separate BNC plugs + shielded cables instead of the standard S-Video connectors?

Will also try a very powerful Proc amp, Elite video Bvp plus for the pre SE sets to see if i can color-correct (JSC especially) and fix it up before input on the DC-30

I've seen posts from people doing that on another video forum which looked interesting.  Isn't there a danger of overdoing the adjustment which cannot be undone in post?

(via Hercules and a modded Meridian demodulator)

mmmmm, Meridian, mmmmmmmmm

in total level and on dampened spikes also got the picture a bit better.

Holy crap Batman!
