Hi I have an RT-707 that works great with one exception if it is powered up and idle if I turn the volume way up on my amp it produces a motor boating sound. It plays fine and sounds good otherwise. During play I havnt noticed a problem. I believe its a cap issue because if my amp is volume is up and I power up the Pioneer there is a very slight delay before it starts as if the caps are charging and then once charged it starts. If I turn my volume down on my amp to what would be a normal volume level you cant hear it. Question is has anyone ran into this and if so was it filter caps? Or what? Its not my amp its dead quiet when in use and on a different component, cd, phono etc. It only happens once the RT is powered up. There is a 102 electrolytics in this beast and I am not interested in total recapping of the unit as I do not want to change the sound signature. I dont have a problem with putting high grade filter caps in or changing a problem one but would like to know if anyone else has run into it before I do anything. Thanks Sam
