I had my 35 year old Krell KSA-80B refurbished about a year ago. It was completely recapped as well as other components replaced. It wounded wonderful when I got it back. Its in hard service driving Apogee Scintilla One Ohm's--but I expect it to heat my music room for many years to come. I would definitely do it again. Had the work done by the factory and was treated very nicely by all.
Expectations after re cap of power-amp
My 1982 Yamaha M-2 power amp is in the shop and this time I agreed
to replace all the suspect capacitors. Two
of the capacitors are the size of coffee cans and the total bill may exceed
$500. I am told that since all the
replacement parts will be as good as or better than the original parts it should
sound as good as new or better.
I’ve never done this before. Should I expect “as good as new” or am I completely wasting my money?
