Alright so I just bought Tus-Chan’s version “B” SRM-T1. It reportedly has a dead right channel which just sounds like fun to me. So time for a little background and then the plan. I got into electrostats about 3 years ago and I’ve had three main amplifiers in that time. The SRM-1/MK2, SRM-717, and the SRM-727. With help from Spritzer, Kevin Gilmore and other head-fiers I’ve worked on all of them. With the exception of spritzer’s feedback mod for the 727 which has been written about and photographed to death I’ve tried both for my sake(Since I am no expert) and the sake of those who will come later to document in as much detail as possible what I’ve done and what I’ve used to do it. I plan for this thread to follow in the same vein.
So here’s the plan:
1.Figure out why the right channel is dead and fix it.
2.Pull out all of the electrolytics and replace them with good well made new manufacture caps.
3.Apply and very carefully document any popular mods that you guys think will make a difference one at a time. I hear rewiring to ECC99 is a good one. I’m open to suggestions here.
4.When all's said and done compare the feedback modified 727 to the fixed and modified T1.
To be continued when the amp arrives!
