Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Was considering replacing the power supply caps (Jamicon 10,000 uF 63v X 4) in my MF A3.5 (150/240W/ch at 8/4 ohms) with some of the Nichicon high-grade units of the same value. Could any folks out there kindly offer any opinions on whether there would likely be any meaningful sound quality improvement? Thanks in advance for any help.

- IIRC, MF amps and preamps of that vintage used choke regulated PSs. /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 08:08:57 05/24/15 (3)

- Evidently, MF dropped the choke after the 3.2cr. /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 12:45:24 05/24/15 (1)
