Wait... in the first paragraph, you state that the V76 sounds
gorgeous, then in paragraph 2, you talk about replacing all sorts of
components inside. Why touch it? Aren't you at least a little bit
afraid that you might not like the box once you mess around with it?

Hello Monte,

It is great, but when I toggle the low-pass and the highpass switches, I get
some loud noises. So my thoughts are simply to recap this machine, because
there will be a leaky capacitor inside. I have to figure out which one. It
was just a thought that maybe this great preamp could sound even more
georgeous with mkt's or MKP's.

Some people told me that it is better not to change it, so I guess it is
better to only replace the bad capacitor.

Thank you all for the responce.


Kind regards,

Replacing the original electrolytic caps with new ones is not changing it, IT
IS MAINTAINING IT. Electrolytic caps have a finite service life of, maximum 15
years. The ones in your unit are twice that old, at least.

So alright, you like the way it sounds now? Then you like the way broken
equipment sounds.

How nostalgic.
