Well you might want to re cap something like a QUAD 303 which is a very
worthwhile project around 30 40 odd quid for a replacement set..


We've got one here for a study setup, mainly plays audio off the PC
soundcard a much better external one that that usually fitted. Still
sounds fine ..


I'm using one to drive a pair of subs in the living room. It's never been
touched. Over 40 years old. ;-) No hum from it - although it's quite
possible it is out of spec in one way or another.


Sounds like an ideal candidate for an upgrade. Not only do you put new
caps in they have higher capacity the 2200 mfd goes to 4700 in the
series output, and now its 9400 mfd in the power supply but even the
small caps on the boards its worthwhile to change them too!...
