G'day guys,
Firstly I'd like to say a thanks to those dedicated people whom have combined their knowledge and experiences of the audio world and shared it here on AK!
So as this is my first recap I've been reading many many pages here getting the facts before attempting anything so to avoid preventable mistakes.
If you're familiar with the 1060 then you'll know most of the mods done to achieve the best from these little performers.
My cap choices are as follows;
Kemet (ex BHC)10000uf and Nichicon Kg 6800uf. Silmic 2 throughout the other boards along with wima films etc.
New matched small transistors and diodes in as well.
What about resistors? Apart from Patfonts AMRG upgrade on the Preamp, are there any other resistor changes that would benefit the sound and reliability in an upgrade here?
Now aside from the common problem transistors, tantalum caps, epoxy diodes etc that are well documented, is there anything else as a "must have" to add on a parts order list for this amp as a safety measure and sound upgrade..
Thanks in advance!
Ben
