Should caps be updated on Super Zeroes

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I was reading Corey Greenberg's 1994 review of the NHT Super Zeroes and he mentions that each crossover uses two electrolytic capacitors. I don't know electronics but I know that electrolytics are sometimes considered suspect. If one bought a vintage pair of these would it be worth updating the capacitors? Is there any sign one should listen for? And do the resistors also degrade?

Thanks for any help!

"Black Gates are out of production...". Indeed. That's why I sent him to Michael Percy... - jeffreybehr 10:19:03 10/25/10 (0)

Yes you should replace them, with high-quality caps. - jeffreybehr 00:23:22 10/25/10 (0)
