Is the AV Famicom really worth it? I already have a Twin Famicom and i really hate the short controller cables, and that the audio is a bit muffled compared to the NES. I'm planning to sell my Twin Famicom, or trade it to the AV Famicom, but is there that much of a difference between AV Famicom, or Twin Famicom.
The AV famicom is the best model.....for modding. I have nothing but love for the av famicom (I own 3 myself). I also have a sharp twin famicom and I love that system too but the muffled audio sucks. Even for composite video the av famicom is perfect looking. The only complaint I can think of about the un-modified av famicom is mixing in carts with upgraded audio chips is lacking....bass. The upgrade kits I use fix the audio (and actually make it better sounding than any stock console) but unfortunately the kit costs 150$ because it's meant to upgrade a whole lot more. Also the audio circuit only sounds perfect on the av famicom which is another downside.

olololololo
muffled sound is just one capacitor.
As about AV grey one - it's a bit fluffy, classic one more robust. Twin? mmm There is profit, when it&s turbo twin
really? Which cap?

There's a 0.022 uF cap located between the video and audio jacks. Ace discovered this on Sega-16, just snip it off and the audio becomes crystal clear. It should be marked as C205 on the power board.

Can you post a link to the post, or do you have any pictures of this component? So i just remove it, and i get better audio?
Im going to sell one of my square buttons for an AV fami.

Does this have any downsides?

It seems to me there ought to be a reason why that cap is there

Yeah, like a man who's giving free bj's :)
According to the link previously posted by 2A03 (See http://tinyurl.com/7oxyydw (http://tinyurl.com/7oxyydw)) You'll have to change a resistor out on the disk side of the system to normalize the sound between disk and cart modes.

It's a low-pass filter for audio so all it does is filter out some of the higher frequencies in the audio (hence the name), removing it has absolutely no harmful effects. I removed the one in my Turbo Twin a month ago and it's still working perfectly fine.
Okay, did you also change a resistor out on the disk side of the system? :blinky:

I didn't do it with mine, you don't have to do it alongside the filter removal.
So my question is "i know it's stupid" is the picture qualify better on a virgin AV Famicom than on a virgin Twin Famicom?
I mean this is what my Twin Famicom looks like

I have never owned a Twin Famicom but I do own a AV Famicom and it's a spectacular little system.
I really tought that my Twin Famicom had a bad AV out, but it seem that the composite cable causing the weird wave effect

Hello,
Here are some pics of my Famicom AV and Twin 505 : http://jomay.free.fr/Famicom_AV_Twin_505/
It's a pain in the ass to take good pics. I would say that the quality is the same, but the Twin outputs brighter video.
I have moved everything in my garage and yet didn't find out the TV remote control, so I wasn't able to adjust brightness/contrast/colour to verify that the quality is really the same.
It the Famicom extra controller port supposed to feel loose, and i think my controller might be broken "or i think so"
I used my Sansui Joycard on TW and sometimes the buttons don't feel that responsie, and controller was cleaned when i bought it.
