The Dude Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm in the process of replacing the Dayton 1% caps in my Heresy and I noticed a couple things. The first thing I noticed was that the input terminal scres were loose. I'm not sure how that affects the performance, but one might think it creates a poor connection, regardless I made sure they were tight. Second thing I noticed was this discoloration on one of the coils, so I thought I'd ask the pros here @JEM Performance @Deang, any thoughts? Is this ok or should it be replaced? Maybe hard to see, but it appears to be a blackish color. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Don't mind me, I just got a new soldering iron and this cool pad for Christmas and wanted to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 When in doubt throw it out. That’s my new tagline, I need to get rid of some of this stuff. Seriously, any smells, you know, like it got so hot the enamel melted off the wire? Needs to be measured if you want to know for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll just spring for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Wow, not sure if it was the caps or loose connection, but this is the best the Heresy has sounded as a center channel, i even had to turn it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’m going to have them rebranded and call them Cranky Yellowjackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
