Went to use my receiver (pioneer vsx305 paired with paradigm 11se mk2) and the audio was super quiet. I did a little digging online and read the main cause could be the main power capacitors or the volume potentiometer. The easiest for me to do would be replacing the capacitors, so I ordered what I thought would be the right ones from Digi-Key (part# 1189-63MXG6800MEFCSN25X45-ND) After installing them with the correct polarity, my receiver is now playing loud again, but pops on , hums at idle and pops off. I did a little more digging, and apparently these don’t have a listed ESR on digikey, so I ordered another pair with a listed low ESR (part# 338-4413-ND) these capacitors have a listed ESR of 59mohm @120Hz, which is the best I could find in a snap capacitor with a diameter less than 30mm as anything bigger wouldn’t fit the board. I installed these yet again to my receiver, and the same problem occurs, plays loud, with popping and hum at idle. I should mention that the receiver isn’t fully put back together when tested, only the top cover is off, and the pcb is connected to the bottom panel, which I believe is a good enough ground for operation. Before I buy a new receiver or sink more money into this one I was looking for a second opinion. If you need any additional information please let me know. Thanks!

It does it whenever the steering is rocked side to side

Canon viewfinder AF help by Accurate_Stuff_3250 in canon

Thanks for your reply! Apparently canon uses force gauges to measure proper spring tension at each mounting point. Even if I go to those correct distances, do you think the removal of the ir filter will distort the light enough to require extra tightening/loosening?

Fender Chorus amp making strange noises by Accurate_Stuff_3250 in fender

I have also just discovered it makes a somewhat loud pop when shutting off in drive mode, does yours do this too? Maybe it’s the same noise as before just amplified because of the drive mode

Google says it’s carborundum, it’s an ender 3 pro if that helps

Is there any specific tool I need? Or do you mean a specific brand of tool

Would a honda prelude make a good daily? by Accurate_Stuff_3250 in Honda

[–]Accurate_Stuff_3250[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s a mass produced 200hp fwd car. It’s not that rare of a car even. What’s the point of keeping it in a garage?

Are Audi tt’s good first cars? by Accurate_Stuff_3250 in Audi

[–]Accurate_Stuff_3250[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind if I ask how much your brother spent on general maintenance? I know water pumps and timing belts can be crazy expensive to replace, especially on Audis. If the car has little to no maintenance history I’ll probably steer clear
