| Indicators of worn/bad capacitors? You capacitors are no culprit then. I would recommend if you listen to SS amp weekends only to keep it on all weekend. Wait at least 20 min before listening after turning on. | |
| Indicators of worn/bad capacitors? From your words, your capacitors are most-likely okay. Caps going bad in SS amp will hum and possibly pick-up RFI noise almost just like tubes. The other way is to look at those if they show any signs of heat impact, discoloration or deteriorati... | |

| Anybody else notice... I usually notice things that are worth paying attention. Unlikely this one is for me | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. DAC is digital phono preamp and cartridge is the transport. | |
| VPI-HW19 first model @boothroyd , I tried to see if newer motor will be more quiet and to my surprise, after same treatment still was awfully mechanically buzzing all the way down to the armboard and from there there's no escape except sound pickup. Bummer. Wonder i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I'm streaming Terminal Passage. It's a youtube channel that has everything R&R hall of fame doesn't have. |
