Aleph 2, capacitor C9 and C10

[loovet]

If I look at the schematic of the Aleph 2 in the service manual, it looks to me that the negative side of C9 and C10 are connected. And both are at the output side of the amp.

If I look at the schematic kristijan-k have done on his Internet page, http://web.vip.hr/pcb-design.vip/aleph-2.html, it is obvius to me that C9 and C10 are connected.

But if I look at BrianGT’s PCB layout, http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte619j/alephpcb/, I can’t see that the capacitors C9 and C10 are connected.

Please help me to figure out which one is right, or where I am wrong.

Best regards

Hello,

The original Pass Aleph 2 have negative sides connected together,
like showh on my website.
However, If you connect them like Brian did, everything would be fine,
and circuit will perform pretty much the same.
