short C1 you don't need it

pull out R10 , you don't need it

for C3 use decent cap

for C2 use Silmic , bypass it with 100nF MKC (polycarbonat)

Upgrade just done!!!:)
The sound now is much more detailed and more focused!
Upgrade very recommended!!!!:D
My suspicions on C1(its position end its typology) were founded !


Meny thanks ZEN !!!;)

Hi!Zen

This Your suggestion has already been done!And i thank you!

Now i need to do the second fase of modding:eek:

for C2 use Silmic , bypass it with 100nF MKC (polycarbonat)

Since i should buy the capacitors ,i would like to find an alternative to replace the electrolytic capacitor C2 that is not certainly the best choice for the passage of the signal(even in a feedback),might suggest me a better alternative?
I read that someone has used in aleph j some K73-16 (from 40 to 60 uF) I would be happy to know your opinion on this theme.
Thanks in advance!:p
 
Silmic is good for Papa

it's good for me too , especially bypassed with MKC

just say that most expensive Blackgate isn't better in that position

been there , done that

:clown:
So.... if i would use one of these for c2 (i have these in my home)

ELNA CE-BP 220uF 16V BI POLAR CAPACITOR *NEW*
Number ebay item: 260815852652
Or these
Nichicon BP 220uF 25V MUSE ES BI-POLARIZED for Audio Capacitor Caps
Number ebay item: 140618205767

With 10nF mkc in parallel,do you think the result would be less than Elna Silmic 2 capacitors ?
If not what kind would prefer between of two mentioned above?
Thanks.
 
I've removed C1 and R10 and bypassed C2 with a .12uf MKP and it's an improvement. I'm assuming removing C1 is probably the biggest reason...my guess anyway. Also reduced R14/R16 to 866R. Next up is to replace the generic bridge rectifiers with FREDs....any maybe lower the source R's.
