ML331 recapping


First of all, I do love my ML331. BUT, it has started to add some distortion intermittently in the right channel (and it also drops the output by a few dB frequently). I'm thinking it's time to have it recapped.

Any idea of what capacitors I need and where I can find them?

The caps reside in each corner of the amplifier. The original caps are large and expensive, but a good option is to replace them with a matrix of smaller caps to the original value.
A matrix of smaller caps provides similar capacity, has a higher thermal and voltage rating and their response time is faster , your amp will sound better as well.
If your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you could do it yourself.
I owned a 331 years ago , this mod was done before I bought it.
