Also, let us know what the make/brand and value is of the faulty capacitor is. I would want to make sure those are not in my STM also. Since Cherry is no longer in business I wouldn't mind opening up my amps and to take a look at what's inside. I didn't want to do it while they were under warranty, but I guess it doesn't matter now. I'd paid for a DAC DAC 3 and I guess that will never happen either. Oh well....
L.D.
