Hey all -- I consider my CA-2010 the beating heart of my stereo system. I've listened to it pretty much every day for the last 12 years or so, since it became a part of my system. It's the perfect amp for my sonic tastes.
I am considering re-capping it. There's not anything wrong with the sound per se, but I figure at some point it will need to be done.
On the other hand, I'm nervous about doing lots of work and either a) it making no appreciable difference or b) it sounds worse instead of better.
I want to hear some real world experiences from people who have done this.
Did it make a big difference sonically?
Which caps should be replaced?
What should be used for replacements?
Are there gotchas one should be aware of ahead of time?
On the whole, was it worth the effort?
Thanks in advance for responses.
