justement, en fouillant un peu sur TAG, j'ai trouvé quelques (petites) infos sur les modifs pour le VHT-50 :

attention, ça fonctionne avec Chrome parce que c'est un PDF ! je ne sais pas sur les autres navigateurs !
les modifs qu'un gus a fait et qui semble TRES satisfait :
"1) Eliminate C6 - RF filter. I thought these caps might eliminate highs at the input. I am a fan of simple and these simply aren't needed IMHO.
2) Replace C9 with a 390p - More mids in the treble circuit like the original #183
3) Replace C1 with a jumper - This cap filters out low end going into the OD section of the preamp. There's already .O5 prior that does the job. More gain without C1
4) Replace C20 with a 4.7u 25v - A bit more lows and therefore more gain. Similar to the original #183 as well
5) Install some good tubes - Can't go wrong with some good tubes. I used two Tung-Sol 12AX7s in V1 and V2. A JJ 803S in the PI. Two SED Winged C 6L6s for power tubes
6) Set Bias - Probably the single best thing you can do. Mine was biased way cold
7) Adjust PI balance - introduces more second order harmonics in the power section. Really makes it sing if dialed in correctly.
After I had posted this I carried on doing some more modifications. I did eliminate the feedback circuit on V1b. That adds a bit of distortion in the preamp which gets you more harmonics. If you like pristine cleans then you may want to leave the feedback circuit as is.
I also replaced the .1uf coupling caps, C35, and C36, in the power section with .02uf. This tightens up the low end.
I changed C7 on V1a to a 2.2uf to reduce a bit of low end. That also reduces the gain slightly on the first stage making up for the feedback circuit removed earlier on V1b

Merci J0k ! J’ai un D50 qui arrive cette semaine. Ce sont les upgrade de Doug qui m’ont incité à l’acheter. Je ferai la même chose sur le mien avant d’aller plus loin si besoin.
J’ai bien les condos Mustards, mais pas les Carbon comp…comment faites vous pour vous en procurer ? Ça se trouve encore ?
