Mighty nice of you to scan and email the schematic.

I have an AE-1 bought off ebay some years ago that I occasionally use. Have you done any tweaking to this pramp? The only thing I did IIRC, was to replace the bypassed output coupling caps with a single Westcap I had on hand at the time which added warmth to the sound. Westcap can be a bit fuzzy though...

Would like to hear your impressions if you still own yours and are using it.

Regards

I have done nothing with the one I have actually. I got it non working and its still in that stage. I have just had too many other projects that were important first.

It may end up back together someday! Who knows!

Glad to hear your enjoying yours. I am considering using the chassis and building something underneath it. Burndfingers suggested this to me a few years ago.

AE1 is a fine sounding, inverting preamp. A bit on the dark side to me; ie dark sounding! I have used it with 7N7 and home brew adapter plugs which made the sound more transparent to my ears. It does have potential. Chassis is great for building something else.
