Guys, thanks for looking. I've got to work on my VTL amp and I want to be sure I am being safe.
It appears that the right way to discharge the capacitors is to place a resistor across the terminals. My gut keeps telling me that I should be directing these electrons to ground, not the other terminal. So I'm just being sure. I once touched a charged cap and will never forget it.
