Thanks Mike,
I substituted all radial caps in the mainunit and powersupply as a precaution.
The ones under the controlboard were brown from the heat and they smelled like fish.
It was a days work but I turned the bias somewhat down so it gets not so insanely hot anymore.
200 USD for parts and approx. 10 hours labor.
I do like it's performance but the Standard phonocard is outclassed by the phono amp in my Krell KRS-2.
I use the KRS-2 in a tapeloop now for the phono-duties
