- Idea by Wim.

On this page you can find some ideas for the Nishiki Amp design. Notice these are just (realistic) ideas and info is as is.

Aikido circuit by John Broskie - TubeCad

Aikido Circuit Board



This Aikido board could replace the original driver circuit of the Nishiki design. The 4 coupling caps (2 per channel) are already included on the circuitboard. Some test are done and a configuration using an ECC83 and ECC82 looks very promising. The use of an E180CC / 5965 did not bring the result I hoped for. Soon I hope to write about how it sounds and how it behaves in the 'real world'.
