My amps are fine but when my A/C quit cooling on a 90+ degree day last week I was not a happy camper. Fortunately, I'm on a priority status with my HVAC vender so I received same day service. Good/bad news, competent tech who quickly found a swollen capacitor in my condenser motor controller and replaced it for a paltry (ouch) $354. So, good example of catastrophic capacitor failure even if not audio related.
Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna!
Hi All,
I spoke to my speaker tech the other day and he brought up my ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier, referring to its age and the number of capacitors I’ll have to replace. I bought it new in 2011 so I expect to get at least another ten years before I’ll have to replace its 50+ capacitors but admittedly, I have little knowledge in this area. Just wondering what others have to say about this and I appreciate your input. Here’s a description of the amp ;
