cap change

I thought I understood imaging and setting things up for a good sound stage - good speakers, speaker placement, minimize reflections, good source material with some recordings being better than others. But recently I’ve run into a situation where I’m at a loss. My problem seems to be not the...

Circa 2002, I bought a used Rotel RC1070 & RB1070, manufactured in 1998. Around that same time I purchased brand new speakers, the Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2. They have been part of my 2 channel system and I have been loving them. Recently I found the sound stage not as deep and wide as it...

New owner of a pair of some KLH Six speakers. One is old.. I haven't opened that one yet. The newer of the two has 169*** serial number, with the screw in woofer and recessed back plate. Do these caps look like they've already been replaced? I don't have the full backstory, the owner...

While working on several amps lately I have come up with a nice way to adapt screw terminal filter caps where solder tab caps were originally used. I have not seen this method but it may not be new? I was recently refurbishing two sets of Kenwood L-05M monoblocks and came up with the following...

Hello everyone, Right now everyone is talking about the Coronavirus, but I contracted another virus: the Vintage Virus! Long story short, I sold all my modern gear (except speakers) and I really, really enjoy learning about 70s receivers and amplifiers. I have now the following equipment...

I want to change out capacitors in my daughter's S-15s to metalized polypropylenes. I know I can run two values in series to equal a target value, but... What would be the damage if I replaced the pair of 5uf caps with 5.1uf caps? Each speaker takes a pair of 10ufs and a pair of 5ufs. I tried...
