I was thinking about (note: only *thinking*) replacing the capacitors in my amp, a Cambridge Audio A5. Reading about 'Black Gate' capacitors, and how fantastic they're supposed to be.
So really, do you think it'll be worth it? I don't actually know what's in there at the minute. Also, will I be needing any 'special' kind of solder to get the best out of it? I've got a reel of Antex (same make as me iron) lead free solder, silver based (or something like that). Says "Sn97, Ag2.5 Cu0.5 0.8mm".
There's actually nothing wrong with the amp, but if I can improve sound quality by just replacing caps...... then I figured why not.
