The amp will be sitting for a week (holidays) the cap is going back.
I might take a ribbing here but I knew something was wrong within just a few hours. Took the amp for a check up to the amp builder and when plate came off oil leaking out of the CAST cap... (to my surprise I was thinking tubes)
The cap had not leaked much at that point. Bought some new tubes to see if that was it sound problems. Hooked back up sounded better but within a hour or two started to get worse again and there was a little oil under the amp. (leaking faster)
I have say I shocked myself how quickly I could hear something going wrong.
Too much listening to caps! When the Jensen Electrolytic went in power supply before I could hear it right away.
What does a cap sound like going bad? As the oil goes out the sound gets drier, edgy.
To people who do not think you can hear caps that's crazy. I could hear how much oil was leaking out!
