RE: Changing electrolytics in Audio Research D115

Posted by jslim on August 4, 2009 at 11:35:35:
Hi Bambi

I have the same set up as you- Sp10-> D115. I replaced the electrolytic cans about 6 years ago. One of the caps was leaking but I replaced all of them. I didn't give much thought to the details you have mentioned. I did use a variac over a 10-15 minute period to turn it on for the first time. As far as I can tell no problems. I love my D115. I bought it used about 15 years ago. No problems other than the caps.

On the sp10 gain pot, the back plate can be taken off by straightening the metal tabs. Be gentle with the tabs. You can clean the contacts with a q-tip or the like and your favorite cleaner. My scratches pots are silent again. I haven't opened the Alps pot.

good luck and I hope this is helpful. you have helped me many times before.
