Thanks for the info on the leakage affecting my capacitor meter.
Like I said earlier, the old quad can was bad, 2 sections were open. Of the other 2 sections, 1 had about 20ma of leakage, the other section was good.
Shannon, thanks for the tip, last night I was eager to try out my ST-70 and figured the new cap should be better than the old quad capacitor so I decided not to check it as I was given a pair of Dynaco A-25 speakers and wanted to hear them for the first time.
Well, all I can say is WOW! The amp sounds absolutely awesome with the Dynaco A-25's. I no longer have the low level hum and the highs were high and the lows were low! Those speakers rock! The amp definitely needed that recap, now all I have to do is replace the bias selinium rectifier and the 2 50uf capacitors. I didn't even try my new SED EL34's in it yet.
