Thanks bud. I replaced the nippons with new nichicons after the pic was taken.

It’s the yellow 0.1uf’s at c125 and c225 I haven’t touched.

I’m assuming they’re polyester film and two mks 0.1uf wimas would be a more modern replacement?.

Cheers. 124 is a 47uf electrolytic 125 is a 0.1uf film?.

There’s a 47uf nichicon fw in place of the old nippon

I’ve not replaced any film or ceramic capacitors so far.

Don’t think that’s all the way in and out. I’m assuming that’ll be output from the stk461 module. Reading up it’s as you say, normal for non relay amps without a delay on startup.

That’s with volume down. Tone defeat on.

Hi. I’ll be back going to check with no volume. There’s no relay in there.

Dogma rule number 6: sticking different color/colour stickers and charging extortionate prices for standard fuses will not make any difference whatsoever to the sound of music

How do the components affect the pace, rhythm and timing of the source material?. I’m not implying they don’t or can’t, I’m just curious.
