Mesa Caps in EU?

[Bossman415]

Nice, looks like a good option! I will reach out to them.

@BesaMoogie I placed an order earlier today and just got a call back from Marty @ ARS.

He’s all out of the 220uf @ 350v caps. He thought he had a bunch when I placed the order.

He said to check back with him in about 4 months because he needs enough people asking for them to justify re-buying a bulk order.

Glad I was able to connect with ARS, got all sorts of good information from them and will give them a try in the future. For right now though, it’ll be Sprague & F&T.

Ok, I just mailed him yesterday so he should know I will take some too.

I had a IIC+ SRG that was recapped with F&T, it sounded great. Until a friend got a IIC+SG that he got back from Mike B. with a full recap job. It was night and day difference between his amp and mine. Mine sounded like a blanket was over it. I sent mine back to Mesa, full recap and service. It was no contest, the amp was significantly different. Mine was a lot closer to my buddies, I imagine the rest is all tolerances in resistors/caps. I was never a believer that caps can have that much effect on tone, but after this experience I'd never put F&T in any of my amps going forward, especially a Mesa.
