Caps that need reformed are garbage and should be replaced. If you've got DC on the outputs and you're cooking woofers there's a good chance that's the result of a cap leaking. My vote is recap before you're stuck replacing more woofers or transistors. They might have another 5 or 10 years left in them at best. Electrolytics aren't meant to last forever.
Need to recap my Classe Audio DR-8 Amps - need suggestions
I recently purchased two Classe Audio DR-8 amps. The amps were barely used and are in mint condition, but I think I need to have them recapped due to being over 20 years old. I am guessing Classe Audio would be the best place to have the amps recapped, but I am not sure. Any suggestions where to have the amps recapped and what I should expect to pay?
Also should I recap my DR-5 pre amp?
Thanks.
