    Sorry just got round to checking on this post. I can say nothing about high frequency since I have just this one and use it for sub amp. But My hum is completely gone. The dynamics from the sub and the tightness with the rest of the system is improved after listening to it a lot now. I can not...

    15-yr.-old a/v receiver: fix it or not?

    Well fellas got her back together with new relays and all the most important caps upgraded. Had to stuff the main caps in there. I found numerous solder joint issues. I have no audible hum. I'm not going to say it sounds drastically better. It does sound cleaner and quicker. Things that have...

    I'm still working on mine. I've decided to weld some pipe bungs and run cold water through the tank. In at the top pointed at the element and out the bottom.

    I have the amp working well but learned a few things. Thermal gun, the issue is Qe8 running hot. That heat was being sucked into the cooling tunnel at the joint between shield and heat sink.

    She is running with almost no hum now. It does not noticeably sound better than before having issues, but I was happy with it before. No smoke no sparks protection working. DC offset at zero to .001 and a greenish meter glow that shows the meter without distracting from the tv.

    Ok good on Mouser the 2nd go round. The first shipment the caps were loose in a bubble wrap pouch and beat on each other. These were proper individually wrapped. Now they look purty enough to install. Drooling
