Electrolytic caps dry out over time causing values to drift a little and also be more prone to failure. There have been improvements in parts/hardware quality and materials since the C-200 was made. Consider a complete recap job as a longterm goal. As long as the preamp is operating with no issues, there is no rush do do anything, just enjoy it for the time being.
So I just bought an Accuphase C-200
What do I need to be aware of? What can I expect? Are there any mods that need to be done to it?
I've just heard such wonderful things about this pre and I'm really excited to get it and put it in my system. Right now, I'm running a McIntosh C45 thats on loan from a friend of mine.
Love to hear your opinions!
