Are the cap failures due to inadequate voltage spec of the caps or just simply becoz of their age ?
Hercules 2 vs Valhalla heat problems
I cannot find a schematic for the Hercules 2 board so I cannot be certain but from just the physical pictures of the Hercules board, its hi voltage stage looks very 'similar' to a Valhalla hi voltage stage. Does it mean that the two famous power resistors (15k each) also get fried on the Hercules as they did in the Valhalla and caused failures in the long run ?
I do NOT listen to 45's so that aspect of the Hercules does not appeal to me but if it is a more stable circuit with LESS heat generation, than it is worth getting.
Thanks
