Capacitor/resistor questions - modding preamp and amps

Posted by JimBop (A) on December 7, 2002 at 10:41:20

I have recently purchased a Wright WLA-12A preamp and a pair of Wright 2A3 monoblock amps. A friend has made some recommendations on upgrading some of the capacitors, however I am having trouble finding a replacement for the large cap on top of the chassis. It is a Sprague 22,000 uf 50v capacitor. It is approximately 1-3/8" diameter x 2" tall, and mounted in a circular clamp. Any recommendations?

Also, there is a single Xicon 10 watt, 0 ohm sandcast resistor underneath. Should this be replaced with something better? If so, where do I source it. I have not found any resistors rated at 0 ohms.

Thanks in advance.
