A very belated condolences, Steve. I'm glad you got to talk to her, but wow, what timing. You've been really put through the ringer, lately. 😔

Replace all four big caps! You could interact in time so maybe no other parts was blown.

Just need an audiophile version. https://www.nuanceaudio.com/en-us

One man's porn is another man's treasure!

Yep exactly the same ones, I'll upload some pictures. I was somehow expecting it, because I remember reading this a while ago. I forgot it was only 1 page back though I'll go with the recommended replacements from Kemet ALC10A681EL550 Unless there is new insight on something better. I would prefer a wider and less tall Cap due to the space in the chassis.

This is hardly porn, but... I got a Velodyne CHT powered sub for the low price of "you're first in line, come pick it up" today. #MVLife

I’ll be honest, I had never heard of this guy but this is a hell of an obit! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/science/richard-l-garwin-dead.html

Sorry to hear this! Was this a blue one from the earlier group buys, like these? I am using the black Kemet caps and always for 105°C

Today one of the 680 uF caps blew in my carbon The wife asked if a balloon popped and I knew immediately what happened. The carbon was on pretty much all day, I forgot to turn it off. And I put the megatron on top of it, which doesnt help for the heat dissipation either. I have the AL-Elko SI4P from Al electrolytic (680 uF, 550V). What is the advise for replacement for these currently as others have had also these issues? E.g. replace all? And any recommendations on the best brand at this moment.

The Go-Gos played the Warfield Theater in San Francisco last night. Kathy Valentine posted these shots to her Bluesky account:

Working on a shrunk CFA3 layout this week, here is what it looks like. Haven`t tested it yet. The dim is about 8.6 inches * 3 inches per channel. Not small enough, but I bet someone can make it better by SMDing.

My condolences Steve. May she rest in peace. I'm glad you reached her. She passed away with peace of mind. Glad you could have a phone call. So sorry for your loss again...

Thanks for comment and link to ROHM document, @simmconn. Very much appreciated. That test had obviously no chance to be successful.

Not so great smash burger action shots from the niece

The TO-220 version of the 10M90S is readily available, so there's really no need to consider alternatives for now. Better to stick with what’s proven to work.

I saw The Waterboys (although it might have been just Mike Scott solo at that point with a backing band) live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1994. They kicked ass. As they do here.
