Was wondering. Due to the issue of Adcom 565's with leaking capacitors (have had mine serviced once), is there a way to install some sort of in-line fuse or breaker that would protect the speaker in the unfortunate event of adcom meltdown?

    If the service in question was to fix the leaky caps............you will never have to worry about them again most likely. So I wouldn't worry about it. Only some 565's and 585's had this issue because of a bad run (defective) of caps sourced from an outside manufacturer.

    Thanks guys,
    I somehow missed that post in my search.

    Makes me fell a little more comfortable that I no longer need to perform the ritualistic Voodoo dance before I flip the power switches.
