If you have an XPR family, you are at the time for a complete re cap. Put in some quality Nichicon Audiophile or similar. Once that controller schiits the bed, you are done! You are not getting a replacement. Unless you pay way too much for a donor, or the actual part itself. Yeah re capping will be spendy, but you will keep your XPR alive. Gene D. of Audioholics had XPRs, and they were his favorite amplifiers. Complacency will make these fail. Don't let the best amplifier Emotiva ever made fail for relatively cheap electrolytic capacitors especially anywhere near the controller. vcautokid makes a good point - preventative maintenance, despite its high cost, is, in the long run, a LOT cheaper than reactive repair. While you would never recap an AVR, for example, a Emotiva XPR power amp is a different level of investment. Ten years seems like kind of short time to recap a ‘flagship’ amp, are the caps in there really that bad? |

You would think, but the stock Caps are kind of meh. Better
early, then late.
