Re: Yep....

I'm thinking of switching out the caps in my ARC PH3 phono preamp, and will probably try out a few different brands. Ideally, I would hook up twenty or so in series and let them burn in for a week or so. However, I can see a problem with different values of caps. The smaller values would block lower frequency signals, so it might make sense to burn in caps of only the same value in a chain.

From the long times that I've seen mentioned for burning in V-caps though, this could end up taking a few months. I think that I would be getting the Fry cleaner rather than the cable cooker because of its lower price. But am I right in guessing that it has less power, and therefore longer burn-in times?
