Interesting post. Names of my components withheld due to persecution. I recently purchased new $8000.00 speakers. A well respected dealer in Milwaukee suggested that I replace my 20 plus year old Adcom GFA 555 II amp after heavy use powering my old Infinity Kappa 8's which are known as power hungry speakers. He mentioned for the money it would cost it would be better to buy something new. I'm all set with my system now but thinking of a 2nd system since I have an old not being used pre amp and CD player. Just bought a pair of speakers from a friend for $500.00, new they were $2000.00, handle 250 watts. Dealer said to run them with my Adcom until it fails. If it damages the speakers I'm not out much. What are your thoughts?
Expectations after re cap of power-amp
My 1982 Yamaha M-2 power amp is in the shop and this time I agreed
to replace all the suspect capacitors. Two
of the capacitors are the size of coffee cans and the total bill may exceed
$500. I am told that since all the
replacement parts will be as good as or better than the original parts it should
sound as good as new or better.
I’ve never done this before. Should I expect “as good as new” or am I completely wasting my money?
