Filter capacitor issue

I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Sounds like great times. Thankfully weed is becoming legal everywhere so I can enjoy great times as well ;)....lentil soup certainly sounds healthier than Doritos and salsa.... 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Fair enough, my comment wasn't geared toward all modern amps, just the ridiculously pricey ones: $60,000 - $150,000 K...I mean, why?I can get a PS Audio Sprout or a used Peachtree/Emotiva/Wyred4Sound for sure, but these old amps seem to have good ... 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Thanks for the recommendations guys, I've been reading up on the Sansuis as well and they are definitely on the list (recapped). The AU 20000 is a beast! And the only one with meters unfortunately. 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
That's the thing, I don't wanna go the route of Accuphase, Luxman or Marantz's sought after models which will cost maybe $1000 - $2000 in nice shape, which will defeat the point of this exercise :)If I can find a recapped, nice looking integrated ... 
Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers
You could try a Peachtree Audio Nova, they used to pair the original Peachtree Decco with Rainmakers at Stereo Exchange. The Decco was pretty exceptional for the time, 10 years ago, excellent quality for the price.  They did seem to move to class ... 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Oh for sure I can pick up a modern one. I am in the market for a high end SS integrated, but as a stop gap I want to try a vintage, because of the aesthetics, plus they were also of a high quality. Real engineers were building real amplifiers, not... 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
So basically I am going to look for Kenwood and Marantz receivers/integrateds that have been refurbished/updated. 
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Yeah I am definitely interested in the Marantz receivers. But they seem to be desirable, therefore expensive. 
A Question About Volume Controls Types
I have one more question if you don’t mind; are there any advantages with one type of volume control over the other? Well, with the regular type volume control, it's probably a potentiometer which is basically a variable resistor and typically ...

record vinyl to my macbook is it possible?
Of course you can digitize your vinyl. As mentioned above, you need an ADC - analog to digital converter (reverse of a DAC), and then you need the digital input into your mac to be recorded using software. Some turntables come with an USB output w... 
Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300?
according to audiosciencereview.com, apparently a lot of them! 
Suggestions (based on experience) for power amp for Dynaudio Contour 20s, please
For sure....it was the model with the KT 150s, so either of the top two integrateds. Dialogue Premium, or the Premium HP. I used to own Dyanudios, Focus 140s...and Dyns do require a lot of power to sound good unfortunately. But the PrimaLuna is mo...
