About the caps, I'm facing 2 schools tech :
the one who is thinking logically than it's better to have new & full spec caps so they can provide their real electronic function... So it hsould end in a balanced result better than having random behaviours...
& the other one who says "NO", we change them if we have to & only if we have to...
But the fact is that 30 years after ... they are in theory ath the end of their Time.
Actually they are not necessary dead...
I also wonder if following the period of productions & marks, they are not all the same quality...
Were the ones used by Simmons some high quality ones ?
or cheaper to keep the cost production lower as possible... ??
We all know that, if the design & concept was top notch, Simmons was not top quality handcrafting, or mecanical engineering...
SO all your experiences guys about caps are really important to know !!
I have a vintage mixer with master fully recapped ... We have the tendancy to think that it's closer to original product like this than with some old drifting caps & components.
I'm not preaching for any of these 2 conceptions, both can be logical...
but I feel we all need to know about both & to experience about it !
Bless you :)
Patrice.

right!
there's definitely times when you might not...
i thought this about my SDSV until i just did all of the caps not on the cards.
power supply and some on the back card seating board.
it was so much better sounding.

Tell that to my 1950's Clavioline with original caps. ;)
The cap debate will go on, but no, I only replace those in need of
replacing.
