I have upgraded the old out of tolerance electrolytic caps on the driver boards with new, audio grade caps on 3 Hafler DH-500s. The integrity of the original circuit is intact. I just replaced old parts with the same value of new caps.
The first one I did sounds perfect. I believe, the amp sounds better than new.
I then did another identical one for a friend. He's also impressed with the results. Again, no problems.
The third one I did has a slight buzz in the rt channel. It is not a hum. It hasn't altered the sound quality of the channel. The volume of the buzz does not go up with system volume. I've been over it several times. All the soldering is solid, and the parts are the same as the other 2.
Anyone have any ideas?
