Feedback Loop help

:) Hello Everyone,

I have a Rotel RA930AX integrated amplifier. I have completed numerous upgrades such as:

-discreet bridge built with soft recovery diodes.

-bypassed all tone controls and hardwired with Nordost cable from input to volume control. (now only one source can be used).

-replaced all applicable caps with Elna Cerafine.

-added 22000uf Elna Cerafine caps to power supply.

-Changed op-amp to AD827.

-Replaced all resistors with Roederstein metal film.

-Paralled .1UF Solen and .01 Teflon(russian) cap in power supply.

-Removed plastic covers from all caps including the 22000uf ones and put a damping material on the caps.

-Replaced speaker outputs with better Vampire units (hard wired to board with Nordost cable. Also replaced RCA inputs.

That is about the extent of the upgrades so far.

I plan on upgrading the volume control.

What I want help with is identifying which components are in the feedback loop. I want to replace these components with better resistors/capacitors.

Does anybody have a schematic and can help me identify them?.

I am not too good with circuit topology.

Also, what would be the next logical upgrade to do to this amp.

Thanks for reading all this.

Cheers

From the output point,
there should be 1 or two small resistors going
in direction to the input transistors.
Often is a small capacitor right beside the resistor.
They are in parallell.

It can also be a track that goes halfway from the output
back towards the input.
and then the resistor/cap is closer to the input.
The input is mostly one or two pairs of transistors,
with close body contact to eachother.
