| Here is another issues. One of the capacitor's was bulged. It tested good, but I suspected it was not up to the job. Here's the thing with capacitors.... Often a cap will test good becuase it holds a charge just fine. However, the internal resistance has gone through the roof. This affect the capcitors charge/discharge cycle. You get a lazy capacitor, and under load the voltage will begin to drop. I cut the vent hole open to check the condition of the cap. I knew that once I did this the cap was trash as it would create a leak where the electrolyte would flow out (but I suspected it was Dry anyway). Indeed, it was as dry as a bone... not one drop of electrolyte. |

| Replacement caps are a high quality computer grade cap from BC (Computer grade caps are very quiet in operation). Here is a sneak peek (from the completed amp) to show you how they look installed. |
