Ok, so as the title suggests, this is quite a nooby question (because I am one!). I thought I knew what recapping meant-bear with me...
I went to see a friend of a friend who works on amplifiers. I asked him if he could recap my amplifier to which he said "which caps?", which left me a bit perplexed, to which I answered those 4 big ones there (pointing at the 4 big power capacitors as I thought that this was a "recap" ). So, according to him there are power capacitors and audio capacitors (I think that's what he said).
So, im guessing that a FULL recap would include both the big power capacitors and smaller audio capacitors?
Also, when I went home, I had a look at the service manual for my Denon amplifier-I think there were about 40-50 different smaller capacitors-Mostly the Electrolytic type (SME), but some ceramic, some plastic film and some others which I have forgot about-does a recap of the "audio" capacitors include replacing ALL of the small capacitors in the amplifier or just a certain type (e.g Electrolytic?)
Many thanks, and apologies if this is confusing/poorly explained.
