Hi,
Today I dusted this Amp off and wired it up to my computer.
Sounds great!
Produces all the highs and lows.


However.
The balance needs to be turned slightly more to the right speaker since less power is being put through it so I opened up the Amp.

The two big capacitors have small holes in the bottom and some beige coloured substances coming out of them.
Also, turning the volume dial past 5 it begins to output dodgy signals and it distorts. It's definately not the speakers.

I want to replace these to see if it fixes the problem.

They are rated at 4000uF and 63v.
I can source 15000uF 63v caps at a reasonable price.

They will produce more power but I also realise turning the amp up very high may burn out other components.


Please post your thoughts on this.

Ah, thanks a lot!!! :D

Really helpful.

I managed to find a place where I can get a 4700 uF for £1.75 inc postage!

So I'll see how this goes :)

Thanks a lot for your reply, cleared a lot up.
