I have a couple of Westrex Model 26c amps I am working on. They were recently update with Nichicon polypropylene caps through out by somebody in Knoxville, TN. The owner said the cap update made the amps sound terrible. The upgrader gave the owner 4 paper and oil caps and told him to replace C8 and C9 with these pio caps. Made no difference in sound. The sound is hollow, lacks all bass. Basically they sound like transistor radio. Heavy transistor radio.
they both have the original 1614 tubes. A mix of 12au7 and 12ax7.
I cannot find schematic for these.
Any one have an idea why these things lack bass and sound like s...t. Also low volume. I have to turn up the volume on my VTL 2.5 to almost 12:00 to get a reasonable volume. Any help would be greatly appreciated
