Anyone Know Where To Get The 4 Big Can Caps?


Hii everyone from Ariana,

Does anyone know where to get the 4 big can Caps?

67,000 mfd 75 volts I think. I can't tell size though.

Audio Research does not repair this amp anymore.

George Meyer could not find them either.

I could replace them in my own time but can’t find them.

The amp is running fine but I want them replaced.

The volts measure ok but if left off for. more than a week or so it may zap after charging up.

Protect mode blinks for a second

 

But stays on ok and sounds Great.

 

Thank You.

I don’t think it’s a ARC Classic 60, my guess is a D400MKII.

Due to supply chain shortages, good luck finding those big caps in stock at major electronics suppliers!

 

Try Hifi collective in-the UK 

The int  FedEx is only $28 you-get  it in 3-4 days .

If it's a D400 mkii, I bought one off Ebay and the caps were leaking. Tons of feedback. I sent it to Pyramid Audio in Austin. AR won't touch those anymore (as previously stated). I think the old caps are Philips, but don't quote me on that.

When I spoke to the tech, he mentioned he was warned off even trying to repair it (by other techs) on forums and FB groups.

Luckily, he tried and found some that worked (don't know what they were). They needed to be direct-soldered. This was about a year ago. Give Pyramid a call and see what they say. My amp sounds great now.
