Adcom GFA-565 Capacitor Replacement


I own two Adcom GFA-565 mono amps. One began to thump while in use, so I brought both to an authorized service center. Tech tells me that he is finding DC across speaker leads on both amps, and that oversize capacitors need replacing and that he thinks Adcom no longer makes them. I asked for alternatives, he said "they make great anchors". Is there a place I can obtain original or acceptable substitutes for the capacitors? THANKS!

Have a look at the value (MF and voltage) and get any with same MF and same or higher voltage.

Get film caps rather than electrolytic ...

power supply caps might need to be electrolytic(???)(@30,000uf might be hard to find in a film cap & a bit pricey)
Pauly sez:

Come on, Paul, tsk, tsk. Lytics are fine, same mF, higher/same voltage as noted.
Couple ("bypass")with suitable films if needed.
Easy to diy -- BUT if in doubt, go to technician.

I think I would try contacting Adcom directly. Try one of the links off of their sebsite. Here ya go:

It has to be electrolytic for the main power supply caps. Easy $5 job to do yourself if you are adventurous.
