Leaky capacitors need replacement?
Are you saying to replace the electrolytics with new electrolytics or use something else?  These are right off the AC mains between the IEC plug and the rest of the amp.  Are the one's in the picture electrolytic or something else?

I just purchased the RM-10. Hopefully it’s 35 watts of pure bliss. Thank you to everyone here for your feedback and help. It will be interesting trying out a tube amp. Many years ago I had a VK-5i preamp but I never thought it had any sort of a "t...

Thanks!  What would I be looking for in the pics?  I kinda know what to look for in a solid-state amp because my old Linn LK280 had major heat issues over it's lifetime, like the traces were coming off the PC board and caps were failing.  What do ...

Ok, thanks guys!  I know very little about tube amps but I have super high efficiency speakers and I think I'd like tubes -- we'll see!  :D  I do believe the smartest thing for me to do is to go used and trust what you, the experts, say is a great...
