Mcintosh C11 re-build

[bluesman714]

Hello All:

What capacitors and other components are recommended for re-building a C11 pre amp. PIO caps were recommended for certain positions when I asked about re-building my MC 30's. Also, are there any "usual suspects"...components that should be replaced because of age? The unit is in daily use and sounds good, but has a low level hum and slight hiss between CD music tracks.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Very nice! Any chance you still have a BOM?

I can look, but I don't think so. I do remember at the time using Craig Otsby's (NOSValves) guidelines for the C22 restoration he did, thus the Russian PIO capacitors in most applications.

Thanks, I will check it out. I am also re-thinking the title to this thread and will post another with a clearer message. I do appreciate your response, and the work looks beautiful!

I just re-read your original post in the link you provided and realized that the story continued for 3 pages...AND that you answered several of my questions in the pages that followed. My tunnel vision never fails me!
Thanks Again!

Thanks... long story, but I sold that preamp a few years ago in a system re-org. Of everything that went, that's probably the only thing I'd buy back. The C11/C22 really is a special piece. Good luck with your restoration!
