I have an old Krell amp and I replace the caps. every 10 years and adjust the bias. I do that whether it needs it or not. I can't afford to buy new so I maintain what I have.
Should I replace capacitors in an old but working amp?
I have an Ensemble Tiger B50 amp which I purchased new back in the early 90s. I love the way it sounds and really just want to keep it for as long as possible. I leave it on at all times.
My question is should I just keep on keeping on or should I be replacing the capacitors after all these years. I hate to mess with it as it sounds really good to me but I don't want it to burn up either.
Thanks,
Steve
