Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
Jumper cables! AudioQuest Jupiter, from tratliff in our classifieds. Once upon a time I bi-wired (Harmonic Technolgy Pro 9+/Pro 11+) then went back to the solid copper Cardas jumpers. Too late and too tired to fire them up.

Side of the road find RT1000i
Picked up these on the side of the road. Hooked them up and figured out why. 1 amp dead and the other is buzzing. Decided to start with the buzzing one and the 4700uf filter caps seem to be bad. I don't have ESR meter yet but Fluke is not getting consistent reading on either. Measuring dc output I've got 25v on one side and 20v on the other with no loading. I've bought some cheap 35v 4700uf caps on Amazon for fast delivery and will install then report back. I'd not be surprised if this is the issue, installed ones are 25v and rail voltage is 25v so no margin. Internet searches seem to show some people had similar issue with filter caps so who knows. Not got much to lose right now, only invested $7 so far. Vinyl on face of speakers has shrunk and pulled away from wood. I'll have to source replacement for that if I successfully repair the amps. Also it looks like the RCA inputs might have fried, but possibly thats just discoloration (see pic).
