Zx amp

Post by keith2728 »

Do the caps fail with use or time? I have a chance to buy a zx amp with 20hrs on it. Do I need to recap it?

Time.

I have a new, never seen power since the factory, ZX amp that needs new caps.

No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.

I believe those caps go bad after about 10 years, despite how much use they saw.
A few of these and a few of those.
