Well, 40 years old amp with original "cardboard" Mallory PS capacitors in it... Five pieces of 16µF/450V, first two in parallel.

Strange sound for years ("bad" distortion, bad LF tones, hiss and buzz higher then normal, "anemic"...), and I finally soldered new caps - two "Mundorf M-Lytic HV" 33+33µF/450V double electrolytic capacitors.

Well worth the efforts - sound improved by lot - definition of notes, clarity, less hum...

The next patient is >25 years old "Acoustic 220" bass amp...
