/vr/ - Retro Games

Asked this question the other day but not in this thread. I got an answer but I'd like more opinions if possible.

I picked up a VA2 model 1 genesis and it works great except for one thing - certain music tracks on it sound like shit from the front audio port. I've heard that this is actually typical of that model and you need to do a preamp mod to fix it (pictured).

I'm just curious if that's actually my problem or if I'll be replacing more capacitors (those are in the mail already).

Here's a Contra Hard Corps recording I made of my VA2 - this is by far the worst example. In many games there's no problem with the audio, but this song and a few others sound like ass:

And here's the same track on my VA6:

if you're still around, does it sound like my genesis?

here is the fix
