Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale?
@abnerjack  I just saw your reply.  Not sure how I missed it, But Thanks.

@mswale  Did you use fancy dancy caps and could you hear a big difference in the sound? If so, was it a good or bad difference?  I’m still trying to decide whether I want to keep the 400 or hopefully sell it.

@mswale  I built this amp so long ago I barely remember where everything goes. It has VERY little room inside, so I would need the exact power caps, cause there’s no room for anything much larger.  It’s a heavy beast too!

@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. 😁

@decooney  Yeah, it’s been used once in the last couple years and should probably move to a home where it’s going to be used, but….  can you send me a link to Big E?

@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.

Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions
@kevemaher  Look around for the Audience Forte F3, 1.75 meter power  cord.  It’s a 10 gauge 15 amp design.  They’re always “On Sale” for half price. I have three of them and am very pleased.   I think I paid $125 apiece.

@kevemaher  you can easily get a 12 or even an 8 gauge cable that has 15 amp plugs.

Neil Diamond. Paul McCartney has like a five octave range.    
2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster
@boxboy83  Try the tried and true 1/3 1/3 1/3 room division and the equilateral triangle shape as a starting point. Measure your room into thirds using the longest length.  In theory, your speakers would be 4’ 4” from the front wall and your list...

@kevemaher  Isn’t the power input plug the standard IEC? There’s a small amount of logic in their  response, but it’s mostly a way for them to save a couple of dollars. All he best.
