The input transformer was seeing the same level for both the low gain and moderate gain tests, as was the output stage. The rolloff was in the tube stages.Most probable cause for HF rolloff is Miller effect combined with poor performance of input transformer.
I don't understand, but I'm guessing it wants to see a 10k input impedance and might have problems with 600? Is this because of the IC selection or component values? The balancing stage designed by Audix is similar layout - would it be a benefit to change to that? (http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=29333.0) or... should I put in an output transformer?The "balanced" output stage relies on proper balancing of the equipment it is connected to for correct operation

dmp said:Thanks! I started tracing out the circuit and it seems similar. If I get a better schematic I'll post it.
I found info about replacing the tubes, chips, and switches (http://www.voodoo-labs.com/index/gearslutz_data/bellarimods.htm)
What is the info on replacing the input transformers?

get the full Sonic Impact from these mods. It takes about 50 hours (at least!) to burn in a Tube and the Op Amps.

Back in the '80s I wrote a magazine column called audio mythology and this was the kind of stuff I would write about.Andy Peters said:Since this old thread was resurrected, I clicked the link, and I stopped reading after this:
