I like the DYI spirit in several of the posts.
Just last month I got tired of dropouts on my two Sherbourn 5/1500A monoblock construction amps, chatted with a friendly tech, ordered $2.50 relays, and using my Xtronic solder gun and air tool workstation, some desoldering wick, and high silver content solder, i replaced all 10 relays.
In the process i removed all connector harnesses and applied electrical contact paste to these and the terminals, dusted the heatsinks.
I have been making sweet eyes at Pass Labs and Classé monoblocks for a while, but the 4 of them would be hard to justify (CP-700 biamps) now with perfect Sherbourns.
