was all. Hard to understand for me how one day all is good then not.
Thanks for the time,Mike.
I've wired in a jumper on the c23 to sr3 grounds and it is sounding fine again.
C23 had been reading 300uf during all this troubleshooting. So I have ordered a new pair to put in as a precaution.then ill add a negative buss just to make sure I have not overlooked anything.
Anything I'm missing?
Ill call you once its done and we'll talk about any other tweaks .
For now though, a Sierra porter and Ernie Heckscher. By the way this Hagerman Bugle2 is a pretty impressive little phono pre, given the cost.

It's fine but you need to do the buss bar ground that is on McShane's site..That was a temporary fix I got you going with by having you solder a jumper on the lower half doubler diode and the 820uf cap,the one that goes to ground directly..This is most likely the reason the one 820uf cap failed because I've never had one of those fail..I'm not saying they can't but I haven't seen it.I know it was working before and you did a nice job but the grounds are so critical on these amps,especially Macs and Citations.Their bandwidth is so wide that any noise or hum will show up like a rabid dog.

You're the best.
