I know that the factory doesn't do it. Question ... how much effort would it take for someone that was (somewhat) handy with tools (i.e. dremmel, files epoxy) to replace an Op-24 with one of these??? Woodrow, what's the story? | ||

Joined: February 2005 Posts: 11840 Location: closely held secret | An OP24 I can see, but I think replacing an Optima would definitely call for some Bondo. Vince, I know for a fact the Factory has Optimas in stock. I still believe they are possibly the best preamp Ovation has, and replacing an OP24 with an Optima would require minimal cutting. | ||

Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3619 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I already have an Op Pro and a VIP on hand to replace two Op-24s. I'm just debating on which one to put in the Adamas 1581. The other I'm replacing is in the 1768C. I have to finish my music room before I dive in either way. Does anyone besides me have a problem finishing projects before moving on to others??? | ||
