| Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp? You sure there isn't an overheating issue? Radiator? Stuck on tight shelf etc? | |
| Smoke on my power amp Hook up a pair of test speakers and power it up. I've seen smoke pour from tube amps only to find the paint/coating on a resistor discolored. At this point, what have you to lose? | |
| Capacitors But the OP asked for "other not-polarized." Wouldn't they have said with other "bi-polar electrolytics?"But good point on the size. | |

| What's the future for vinyl lovers? I could happily never buy another new record again. I rarely buy expensive new audiophile pressings - most sound worse than the originals. They're so much better that I’ll sit through the rice crispies to have a more pure glimpse into the past. I ... | |
