Another AG9016 "addict"
Hi,
first of all my copliments on this forum, especially the links on tube related articles, often on entry-level, are very very helpfull.
As a brief introduction, I just finished (re)building my first EL84 SE amplifier (Kontakt KT7). Although I bought the amp in "working" order it needed some new capacitors and a by-pass of the input section in order to get a reasonable sound.
After a while I decided to fully strip the amp, and rebuild it from scratch with new (and preferably better) parts, and although I had minor knowledge on tube electronics, I managed to get it up and running again.
I am actually working on a site were the rebuilding process will be described in full with detailed pics, and as soon as it is finished I will drop a link as I feel that this could be interesting for other applicant Kontakt/Bocama/Lafayette rebuilders.
Now only recently I bought a philips AG9016 amp which is the next project I want to dig in to. I have read the topics on this forum on this amp, i.e. 40 yrs old philips AG9016 flea-power ?,
and there seems to be somesort of "improved" schematic were most of the C's and R's are removed?
There was actually an article in a magazine called A&T (!?!) how to "pimp" this specific amp, but somehow I cannot find it anywhere on the net.
To make a long story short, all (schematic) information, additional tweaks etc., are more then welcome !
Thanks in advance
