I decided to go ahead with a complete re-cap on my old KMA 400,s I found a recomended tech in Sydney. Freight is going to cost me $1010.oo and the big caps '12 of them are $245 each, the whole operation will set me back $6000.oo. Am I mad. don,t be to harsh on me ,I,ve already got it in the neck over the BE 20 lead issue, no really I love it, give me heaps
Rebuild or New?
I’ve been thinking it’s time for a new amp. I have a Carver 200t Magnetic I bought new in 1987. I’ve run the hell out of it. No joke, there has got to be thousands of hours on this thing. It’s never failed me at all. I wonder though, after years of use, could degradation with the electronic parts have slowly, imperceptibly, colored the sound?
A friend told me two things are the enemy of electronics, vibration and heat. So, I have to wonder.
Am not sure but can these things be rebuilt with newer components? Or, should I just get a new amp?
