This £2,500 retail specialist 7.1 AV amplifier uses Cruddy SAMWHA capacitors in the PSU and the Power-Amp Stages.
There are a couple of 6800uF 35V in PSU that are already bulging, its only 4 years old.....
Next time Ive the lid off--To fix the faults it has, when I get some replacement caps and Transistors I'll take pics of the PSU, the O/P boards etc....
(O/P stages blown apart, due to equally crappy Bias-Setting pots!)
To say that I was amazed/dismayed is an Understatement! So much for Great British Engineering!
Perhaps that's why this particular model is known to have issues!
