"Full Recaps! It's a myth. In old or new HiFi equipment electrolytic capacitors can be a problem but so can all of these other things - cracked circuit board tracks, dry joints, polyester caps, resistors going high or open, open circuit wires, crimped connectors, internally failing sockets, input switching ICS with weird faults....etc etc"- Andrew Hutchison - Host

Thanks to these fine Global HiFi Brands for their Support.
