Hey KC,
Thanks so much for taking the time to document this! I am in the same boat, that is the hissing coming from the speakers. I too have a bit of soldering experience and would like to give this a shot before abandoning it for a new set up. I found the location of the capacitors thanks to your pics and have a few questions:
1. Can you give me the values of these? There appears to be two of two different kinds
2. There appears to be 3 screws attaching the board to the assembly, one of which is not accesable, how do you recommend disassembly to change out those 4 capacitors.
Any other advice would be appreciated, thanks!
Chris
