Have a Sansui 5000X which still sports original caps. Speaker output wiring was replaced with 16 gauge, & recently added direct pre-amp feed to amp boards. Mitsubishi DA-C20 pre-amp had two trips to repair shop in '85, whilst still part of KPFA's studios. Other than replacing speaker wiring with 16 gauge, a stock Sony STR-6055 has rocked Sansui SP-2500s strongly for Semper-Fi bud over half a decade (before that, two years rockin' Raley Field's late, lamented parking warehouse via Cerwin Vega AT-10s). His kids (twenty-sum'pins, actually) are now startin' to discover that system's aural attributes for music-n-video presentation. A mostly stock Rotel RX-602 sounds heavenly via Sansui AS-100s up in Nevada City. Only mod was output transistor wire feed to amp board. Up on San Juan Ridge, a stock Technics SA-500 coaxes alnico thunder from Pioneer CS-77s. Down the road a ways, a slightly modded Sherwood S-7010 elicits contentment from KLH 17s. Stock speaker output wiring, & tone board to amp board wiring, was replaced with wire from Mesa/Boogie Recto Cab. Recipient says her system sounds a lot more powerful than a "mere" ten watts per channel. KVMR's over-the-air monitor for the last seven years has been a stock Kenwood KR-2400, through modded Ratio Shaq M-1000 speakers. All systems utilize surge protection power strips. And they will sound better when eventually recapped, but they all still sound fine. One piece of 30-plus gear which needs instant recap, though, are Marshall's JCM-800-era Model 5010 Master Lead Combos. Replace those stock rectangular caps with metal film equivalents, along with 4,700 uf filter caps, & you'll have rock-solid Marshall-legacy tonality. Stock 5010s have become rarities, however, as modders scrapped those stock solid-state boards for valved JCM-800 topologies. Because those 5010 combos looked auld-skool bitchin'! 73s-n-happy holidaze para Sactown!!!
