– Tantalum capacitors are bad in power supplies since they tend to ‘short’ when/if they fail. And my Pro-One is 32 years old after all. – Electrolytic capacitors are the most sensitive to aging (they dry out).
It seems most techs agree on the following: Some people swear by it, other say it is often a lot of mumbo jumbo, especially if the claim is that the audio quality got much better.Īnyway. Replacing old capacitors is something people do with old synths, mixers, amps etc. Now I can sleep at night – electrolytics dry out, and the tantalums in the power supply felt like an accident waiting to happen.
