VU Meter Lights

Good morning everyone,
I have noticed that when I increase the volume on my CA 810
the lights on the VU meters reflect the volume change.Whenever a
bass passage hits,the lights dim.It is very noticeable.Is this coming
from the caps on the power supply board?
 
It may very well be out of spec caps in the power supply. From my experience though, a certain amount of this is normal. In transient passages, at high volumes, the amp is requiring more power, and the lights suffer. I noticed this the most with the pioneers I've used. I've had a CR1020 CR2040 CR640, and still have a CA2010 and CR2020 all of which have some dimming at high volumes even after recapping. I'm sure someone will chime in with a little more of a technical reason if thats what your after.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.Your answer puts me at ease.U mentioned after recapping the power supply caps that the problem still happened on your unit?
