Confirming.....

I picked up a C28 and an MR78 some months ago and went through the C28 replacing caps in the line section as well as the power supply. In the case of the line stage, I replaced both channel's caps starting at the input end. For each stage, I then buttoned it up and put into the regular listening system here in the Romper Room (aka: garage). As I worked my way down the audio chain, the sound stage got bigger and the dynamics and authority improved. Using Solen and Auricaps for the most part, the old bird now sings quite nicely. In the end, I did the phono section this way, too, with the same results. Took a lot of work but I can confirm that those caps, now getting into the late years of their 3rd decade, do indeed need attention.

BTW, I also redid a local friend's C28 and it responded in the same way.

Cheers,

David
