Hello, everyone!
I have an AML ezAM16-500 kit that I recently built, and it does seem to work, but I noticed that there were two missing parts from the kit that are also not shown in the Colourbook instructions but listed in the schematic and the BOM. It is R64 (270R) and C8 (10nF) which are in series and tie the +/- connections from the output transformer secondaries. I've seen something like this on other designs, but I just don't know enough about electrical designs to know what those components' purpose is. I have a recording session coming up that will require all of my preamps, and before I put this one to use, I'd like to know if there is any real reason or benefit to having these components in or out of the circuit. I tried emailing Colin, but I think those guys have been super busy to respond to messages.
Thanks!
Paul
