HI guys,
I have just finished setting up my Sex 2.1 ( no upgrades yet) and as soon as i turned the amp on i heard a distinct sound of a capacitor going to heaven. After waiting for awhile, the tube from B has failed to light up. Checked my voltages and a few interesting numbers popped up form some points.
6=432v 16=453v
11=412v 21=455v
15=20v 25=0v
A2=404v B2=457v
A3=20v B3=0v
A5=75v B5=393v
A6=2.5v B6=0
A7= -4.59v B7= -4.59v
A8= 2.65v B8= -4.59v
Few Questions
1: Are the voltages difference from at points 11/21, A2/B2 meant to be that large?
2: Does the 1000microF 35V electrolytic Cap from tube B needs to change ?
3: Does the brand of the capacitor needs anything specific ? ( i am planning to replace it with a generic Electrolytic Cap from the local electronics store)
PS: I checked the capacitor orientation and it is correct
