@whataboutbob1 Hate to ask, but where did things end with Cary on fixing your amp? I recently picked up a stereo V12i and I’m really enjoying it. I know they ended ended production with the “r” racing series and I read it is the better amp. Really enjoying this amp and not sure why I’m even thinking of upgrading it, and after reading your post I’d be afraid to send anything to the Cary of today. Hope they’re standing by and fixing your amp as these are special.
Cary V-12 blowing capacitors
Hi,
I have a pair of Cary V12 monoblocks one of which is blowing capacitors. It was initially sent in to cary as it was the 3 Amp fuses. They initially replace the capacitors and sent it back. It worked briefly and then started blowing fuses again. It went back to Carrie and this time they replaced both transformers. It did work for a couple of weeks but yesterday when I turn it on and was in the standby mode I heard a crackling noise from inside the amp and 3 amp fuse blew again. There was a large puddle of oil in the back of the amp which is from the capacitor. So it seems like something is still not repaired correctly which is causing the capacitors to blow which maybe is why the fuses are blowing. With it being to cary twice and they are not really sure what's happening has anyone else had this issue?
