Hello dear forum members!
I have a need for your assistance! I have a NAD 320BEE (with the infamous JH capacitors). I have read about them here on the forum and I am now facing issues with my unit. I powered it off with the remote and I thought it sounded a bit louder than usual. And the next morning when powering on, the orange light stayed fixed - indicating something was wrong. Pulled the cord, waited and reinserted the plug and powered on with no luck. Still orange light. Unscrewed the lid. At first I thought the caps in the power supply / filter area had leaked but learned that this is just glue. I do think one of the 15000uF cap is swollen. Maybe some other ones are discoloured on the "mainboard". Could you please advise on what I might be seeing/not seeing? Should I just try to replace the 15000uF 50V capacitors or should I try to recap all electrolytics (with the possibility of shortening something). Previous during the last few years I have been hearing the 50hz hum but thought this was from the potentiometer since raising or lowering the volume made it disappear for a while.
Thank you for your time and effort!
Best regards,
