Someone put one 1000 cap on it and left three 630 ones. Come to find out the 630s are all defective from a bad batch. You think they would know this.
Funny how when you know what high end audio is really about it's a different game.
And this is probably one of the BETTER companies!!!!

Are you sitting with a non-functioning amp now or did someone help you to find and fix the real source of the problem?
I had a similar issue with an amplifier I had upgraded, chasing the wrong bits, to then later find out three hexfreds were essentially bad under load after 3hrs of listening. Blowing fuses and all. Had the amp back for repair a few times (like you) until finally the hexfreds went out entirely. Turns out the upgraded caps, resistors were good, however the newly installed hexfred/diodes were bad - finally went completely out. Then, finally found the bad parts, replaced them all, and so far so good. I was getting aggravated wondering if this amp I decided to (F!@$ with) would ever get fixed and working again, and driving the tech crazy, literally. Was not his fault, it was bad parts with intermittent issues, not easy to detect until the parts went 100% dead finally. 5th time was a charm. Hang in there. Good Luck.
