Hey folks,
This is a question for everybody, but it's targeted specifically at Cory ("sweetbeats").
I'm testing my new setup and working out the kinks. To hunt hums, I'm turning the main stereo output all the way up. When I do so, I hear electrical hiss. It's not really bad, considering that I never turn the Stereo A output up beyond 3 when using it for monitoring, but I'm concerned about the background noise when I use the stereo outs for mixdown.
My question is: Will recapping my PSU reduce this noise? Specifically, what would the advantage be if I recap the PSU?
And, specifically for Cory: I remember you mentioning that there were a couple of "gotchas" when you recapped your PS-520. What were they, specifically? Did it have to do with the capacitor values being different from what was on the schematic?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
