| New cap recommendation for power amp please What amp make and model? What component specifically? Do you have the schematic? Did you check the capacitance value of the original and match it with the replacement? Did you let the Jensens break in? | |

| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 The AF idler is currently sold out. I had to wait 4 months or so IIRC when I bought mine. OP, get the AS, you won’t be disappointed. | |
