Trevor:
The cap is hooked up correctly. It is near the bridge but this is a 25 amp 200 volt bridge that shouldn't run too hot. also there is space between the cap and the bridge to allow for ventilation. The manufacture (of the amp) recommended putting the cap across the + and - point on the bridge rectifier. The cap is 35 volt but I do not think it is specifically a high ripple cap. Cary Audio stated that they use many different types of caps in this circuit and with a voltage of 25 volts or more they never have a problem (they do not use high ripple caps here. The cap is a good quality but I don't know the manufacture).
I could place a cap at each of the tubes to get them away from the bridge but anywhere under the amp is warm. There are a couple of other electrolytic caps that function fine and are under a much heavier load.
Thank you so far for you help.
John
