Ordered 6 Mundorf capacitors from Roy to put in my VTA PH16, should be here any day. I built the phono stage myself but my skills at de-soldering are lousy at best, I hate doing it. Any advice on putting these things in? Also, why does solder you accidentally put in a wrong location not F$#%@! melt no matter what you do to it? :-(

- IMHO, you should invest in a solder sucker or some desoldering braid. - viridian 14:23:32 01/13/21 (4)
