To re-cap or not to re-cap? That is the question


I've got some very fine 1980s vintage equipment I love and don't want to replace. Recently, I was able to locate a company that repaired the drivers in my ailing speakers; I'd auditioned half a dozen excellent speakers in my home in anticipation of needing to replace my Teslas, and none pleased me as much. The amplifier has been serviced by a local audio engineer I trust--but he describes himself as a "recovering audiophile," and may not be the right person to ask what I want to ask here. Namely: should I have the capacitors in the amp, and perhaps also in the speakers' crossovers, replaced? Is there any other service protocol I should consider?

On the principle "don't fix it if it ain't broke," I'm inclined to leave well enough alone. I don't notice any audible deficit. But perhaps the system could sound even better?

Your sage advice will be appreciated.

An election that was won in a landslide is being stolen in a so far relatively bloodless coup.
I don't believe they've stolen the election with the insurrection carry on. Even Mitch said so.

Make sure to allow the recapped amp to burn in before judgement.
"...would you like all the Chinese communist drivers that they’re built with?"

Only if they are just the right red. How else would I know they are not some knock-offs from the neighboring factory?

Me too.

And yes we should try to leave politics out of this forum as much as possible.

It’s getting a little tiring watching reruns of Miller v the sheep.

Baaa!
