Re: Are these caps original? MPS-2220

nico-

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll make sure to swap out the caps if I decide to put it back in service.

Re: Tracy Aviary

Nice, I'm shooting a K200D. What lense were you using. Exif says 300mm. Were you using a 55-300mm or that uber-spensive DA* 300mm? Either way it's super sharp with smooth bokeh.

Re: Are these caps original? MPS-2220

Thanks for the responses. Considering I know the amp has been sitting around for five years, maybe I should just replace them all. Makes me wonder if I should change the caps in my other amp (10 yr old MTX) as well. I have found a picture of another MPS amp online that had the same add-on FET things...

Are these caps original? MPS-2220

Thought I had better start a new thread for this. I opened up my MPS-2220 which I got second hand. I've looked at a bunch of pictures on here, and the rail caps do not look familiar. If these have been replaced perhaps all the caps have been replaced? It was rather clean inside. Does anyone know the...

Thanks for the replies. I searched around a bit, and found some info on the caps. I did the "paper under the cap" trick, and I don't see any fluid on the paper. However, during my research I have discovered that 1moreamp is a guru, so I will take his word that they need to be replaced. Is ...

What to look for when buying an MPS series amp.

I've got a friend who is selling his MPS2220 amp. He is willing to let me check it out before I buy it. Is there anything I need to look out for with this amp? Obviously it needs to power on and amplify. Any suggestions are appreciated.
