Sounds a bit odd. You should have plus and minus about 30V from the voltage doublers if everything is working properly.
Is it pretty close to 12V AC you are putting in? If it is 13V or more then the caps could be overrated.

I measured the PS (a musical fidelity wall wart for an X-10D) and it was just over 13vac which I thought would be ok?Originally Posted by Firebottle
Would it be worth changing the cap? It had been used before, but I am not aware that it was duff.
