Hello All. I'm new here, I have had my series 75 console (28/24/2) for about 13 years and I am just now looking to recap and change some OP AMP IC chips in certain areas on each strip.
1.) My question is do I keep the same radial cap values as the originals?
I had 4 channels upgraded by Jim Williams and the caps were beefed up while using Wima Film Capacitors on backside of module I'm assuming to compensate for the increase? My questions is should I keep it stock values or beef them up? It's more cost effective to keep stock values. I do like the sound of the upgrade but I was hoping to achieve an overall better sound on the unmodded channels by just recapping and by changing the IC's in certain areas (preamp, line input, and fader).
2.) Should I change all the Film Caps as well? I don't know the values I need for those as they are not clearly marked on the existing ones. I see the ones used on the upgraded modules can I use those values? I'm not sure if I will need to change the resistors or not in those areas.
I am new to all of this but not afraid to get my hands dirty and have a few channels not in use to learn on. :-\
I have yet to build a new power supply, thats next on my list... any advice (amperage or configurations) for a supply would be greatly appreciated. I am aware of the Acopian builds and some prebuilt ones I've seen on ebay.
Thanks in advance for any help.
