Desided to keep and mod. Too nice an amp to give away soooooo. Anybody mod an already nice amp. Figured on upgrading all 10 caps any suggustions on brand? Have sent the schem. To my tech, and he is looking it over, in the meantime , anyone do this sugguestions welcome. This is a very high current amp +-73 amp peak, 80 watt ( conservitively rated) figure i would have to spend 800.00 to replace it with another (supperior? unit) so mod and upgrate may be cost effective.expend to spend as much as 225. Or so on parts.ideas very welcome. Thinks.

    Has no one any exp. with amp upgrades? Really need some advise! Have educated myself on speaker caps but amp caps are a mystery to me. Any sources i can read up on or brand suggustions. Do i assume there is as much diff as there is between speaker caps? So i need some education.
