Re: See any caps here that I should be concerned about on an aging amp?
Oh yeah, probably, it doesn't bother me though, I have it in a trigger outlet so it powers down when I shut my AVR off, so you can hear the caps drain and kind of fizzle out softly in the speakers after about 14 seconds. It's not loud enough to be annoying though....

Re: How high does plunger come up if bad? Cornell Dubilier 23000UF
ok good because I went and counted and it's actually more like 14 seconds

Re: See any caps here that I should be concerned about on an aging amp?
It does sound really good, this is my highest quality amp I've ever owned so I don't really have anything to compare it to sound wise to know how good it is. But it's pretty awesome. It does sound good. It does 200w per channel at 8 ohms 3 channels driven per specs, not sure what it puts out in 5 channel mode, so I was thinking of upgrading the big power caps coming off the toroidal since it's 46000uf right now, looks like 23,000uf goes to each side of amp boards. I was thinking of doing something...Last edited by demoncamber; 01-06-2021, 12:30 PM.Leave a comment:

*as a side question, while playing music on this amp, if I turn off the amp, the music continues to play for about 9 seconds as those massive caps drain. Is that a good sign that I don't need to upgrade the caps capacitance ratings? While this was at a lower level and only 2 channel mode, I'm sure in full 5 channel mode is where it needs those caps the most.
Some more expensive amps have around 80,000uf on this size amp, so I think I could benefit from the upgrade when I stretch her legs.

Re: How high does plunger come up if bad? Cornell Dubilier 23000UF
Wow, that's pretty amazing, thanks for the reply.
CDE got back to me and said the plunger will go as high as the terminals if it were to vent, so it's nowhere near that.
My new question is, this amp has 46000uf being split between 5 amp boards, with the way it's wired it seems right side goes to right one and left side to left.
There's plenty of room to add a couple more caps inside, I'd like to see around 80000 or 90000uf capacitance, if I were to add one or two larger caps and wire...Last edited by demoncamber; 01-05-2021, 11:37 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: HITANO Caps
Hitano are in the Aragon 2005 thx 5 channel amp. Amps from 2003 and works flawless.Leave a comment:

Re: See any caps here that I should be concerned about on an aging amp?
This is an Aragon 2005 THX 5 channel amp from 2003ish era
No power board just these suckers lol
Better view of the caps, black ones are Hitano and the blue ones say what seems to be AE

See any caps here that I should be concerned about on an aging amp?
Just curious, does anyone see any problem caps on my aging amp that I should keep an eye on, are any of these tantalum? Or ones that could potentially go due to age?

Re: How high does plunger come up if bad? Cornell Dubilier 23000UF
I totally understand what you mean, I was just thinking, these are from 2001 or so, and they are only about $40 each, to replace with new from CDE, so maybe worth just doing. I should really just measure them with a multi, but still, just as easy to replace them for longevity?...Leave a comment:

Re: How high does plunger come up if bad? Cornell Dubilier 23000UF
Hi! According to this white paper document the bung is exactly an indicator showing end of life of a capacitor (provided it doesn't fail to do its job), which I had not known until reading this. It states that the bung will come up with pressure as it reaches end of life. Not much on the net really about this at all. However, these aren't terribly expensive at all to replace, if needed. I did message CDE about this as well to see what they say.
I did do an image search on google to try and compare bung...Last edited by demoncamber; 01-02-2021, 04:06 PM.Leave a comment:

How high does plunger come up if bad? Cornell Dubilier 23000UF
How high do the brown plungers come up to let you know they are end of service life?

Hanns-G HG281D no display but power.
Hey guys, I have the Hanns-G HG281D with the FSP217-4F02 power board, with no display or any sort of life coming from the panel itself or backlight, however the power light will show blue when plugged in, go to yellow standby after a short time, and will turn blue again when the power button is pressed, however, the display will not work at all. Does this sound like the known power board issue?
I have some pics:
