RE: Transformer mechanical noise

Thanks again Ralph for the info.
Regarding the power transformer, not only are the screws tight, the previous modifications done 10 years ago included some kind of rubber padding to help reduce mechanical noise in the PT. I don't know what they did in the current modification (I don't think they did anything to the PT), but the buzz is now much reduced. So I assumed it was because of bypassing the power supply caps. As for the power supply caps, they were upgraded 10 years ago.
Regarding cutting the bypass caps, wouldn't that ruin them for future use? What if I liked the sound better with them in? They are about $30 each, seems wasteful to destroy them.
Question. Why would Rogue include bypassing the coupling caps in their upgrade package for the Stereo 90 if it is so bad to do so. That's why I did it in the first place.
