Flux Capicitor?
Can’t get over the sheer number of capacitors in the Audiolab.
I think Exposure are similar in preferring lots of small capacitors rather than one or two large capacitors. Looks like a lot more work, to me anyway.
Particularly when the smoothing bank bulge and fail as mine did…
Only in their pre amps I believe (3010 S2 / 5010) and the 3010 and series CD players.
The amps and intergraded amps have a pair of large smoothing capacitors
Also I have not looked inside the 2510 or the XVM series
Me too; replacing those caps would be a little more time consuming than one or two large caps when the time comes!
B.M.C CS3 integrated has capacitors double stacked, photo shows the top deck ‘folded out’ just to show lower deck! Not how it normally looks!
Quirky looking thing
Imagine recapping that!
It looks like soviet architecture.
Their stuff is beautiful and timeless imo.
Well, like all Chinese stuff, it won’t last to that point anyway.
@Alba1320 & @Roog, I wonder if having multiple caps improves the resilience of capacitors against popping or the likelihood of failure.
It never ends does it. I’ve had less issues with Chinese manufactured products than British. Just sayin.
Yes - some people seem to live in the past.
When I was young, Japanese cars (& hi-fi gear to an extent) were dismissed as being cheap throw-away rubbish. How times have changed!
An English friend of mine warned me about buying English. I am still hoping he is wrong.
generally that view is held by people who bought cheap crap and had it fall apart.
You get what you pay for, regardless of where it’s made.
Buy a Bush or Alba product and see how far it gets you.
