Good observation!

I remember being frustrated, and unable to find a suitable part at first. Then went ahead with the Vishays combined with another order.

Thinking now.. it's about time to get back in there, make a few more tweaks, and replace those caps with Nich VX..

..which is what I put in the MR80 power supply. That project is easy to find by searching "Gregory MR80 power supply".

An inspection and tuneup every 5 years is about right, huh? Lol

Yeah.. winter's coming, and that's a good time for Tech projects.


Gotta agree with JW. The 2205 is a wicked-powerful amp! and solidly in the heavy, auto-transformer coupled, Power Guard equipped McIntosh amplifier category.
