Hello All,

I have some questions regarding hot-rodding of an '61 V76. It sounds very
gorgeous and thick compared to my own preamps (OPa 627 based) and the
behringer I still have. The behringer will be replaced soon with a Cranesong
spider and four channels of 1272 replica's

Cap-replacement
The caps inside this machine are all original and I am going to replace
them. When looking inside the V76, I found out that some Solen or Audyn
MKT/MKP would probably fit for the 2u and 4 u caps/ 400V in the
feedback/signal path. Is it good practice to use these caps or should I
replace these Elco's with Elco's?

Input caps
I also killed the caps and the coil that gave the limitation of 16 kHz. It
made the sound less dark. Is it also possible to kill the caps that protect
the input transformer for DC? In the V72 I could not find such a protection
and I guess these caps are killing some of its sound. Could this be the
reason why some people like the V72 more than the V76?

Kind regards,



Harrie
