I'll second the reccommendation of Musical Concepts.

		but...

instead of the modification kit, get the MC-III board installed.
It does cost more, but sounds better. It is a dual-mono design
with seperate regulated power supplies for each channel.

My DH110 sounded very good after all the mods, matched transistors, and
teflon capacitors, but my MC-IIIT(eflon) sounds better. And if you really
want to do it right, do what I'm doing: putting the board in my own
chassis with Cardas jacks, EVS stepped attenuators, Cardas hook-up wire,
and an 8-amp outboard power supply.

If you want a really simple and cheap mod to the DH101, look in some
(far) back issues of Audio Amateur. There was at least one article
and the numerous follow-up letters. It won't sound as good as the
Musical Concepts mods, but it will sound better than stock.

Keep in mind that the DH101 is a cheap pre-amp (good for a spare) and
you won't be able to sell a modified unit for what's invested in it.
