. So I'm now considering that the amps are just sensitive to inductance in some places?
Recommend that you stop hugging your amps when listening to them

A few Elnas only seem to have "drifted" a bit their capacitance values. The Nichicons and Rubycons BG still good.
Probably you don't need to replace the two 18,000uF main caps! :thmbsp:
That's probably one of the best kept AX-700's around.
I don't plan on replacing them for now. But speaking of which, do you suppose that these are legit (not fakes)?

If so they would seem to be a perfect replacement, even if they do say Marantz on them.
Frankly, I would avoid these, we'd need to see the manuf. date. I might be wrong, but it seems to be manufactured long ago (NOS) and would need reforming... If replacing the main caps, I'd buy newer Nichicons or other Nippon Chemi-con ones - 18,000uF/80V like...
Yamaha + Canton = total synergy
Everything went really well. Now, some beer...
Time for a new project. Maybe another 700? Should I?
Awesome.
Maybe an A-760? :scratch2: X Power Supply, same used in B-6. Seems a nice and versatile amp. If you find it cheap, grab it. :yes:
Others include the A-700 (1983) or 1970's era CA-710 / CA-810... :thmbsp:
