How hot is too hot?
My PS Audio BHK 300 mono blocks are warm to the touch when they’re just idling and can get down right hot if I run them above 90 dbs.  
Is my capacitor bad?
@charleyprice  The way I found I had a bad cap, was by a green goo I found on the rack. Glad you will have a cleaner time of it.  
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?

What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
Great post @erik_squires    I am in 100% agreement with you.  Thursday night meatloaf was a staple growing up and there’s a restaurant near me that still has it only on Thursday’s. And I to can’t stand fruity beers and the sour crap the sell.

@puptent  The Stereo 400 was a kit and it has a ton of parts, but if I can bring it back to spec, or better yet, I might just keep it around. 😁

@jasonbourne71  I’m sad to say James Bongiorno is no longer with us. I never realized how many of the products he designed, I bought over the years.
