Very good advice it was too, now i do understand where you're coming from macca, you want yer new speakers to be as original as possible, but parts do wear out and the caps even if the speakers have only been used once in a blue moon will need replacing due to the age of them, the Ansar's Andre recommended to me really will make a big difference, the best way i can discribe the difference it made to my Castles is with the old caps they sounded out of focus, however with the new caps everything sounds clear and easily definable
