I just received a Canary CA 306 amp the other day along with their CA 900 pre. I got everything set up, biased the tubes and after playing a couple songs realized I was hardly getting any sound from my right channel. After changing interconnects, moving from channel to channel and then switching speakers I popped the bottom cover and found one of the caps just hanging there, it had broken right at the end of the cap, a Hoviland. The build quality looks excellent so I'm thinking this happened in shipping or it was just plain a defective capacitor.

I hate to have to send this back to California, I'm near Chicago, so I'm hoping I can replace the cap myself and not void the warranty.

Anyone else gone through something similar and would the company have voided the warranty if you did the fix yourself?

Brian
