To state that WW is the only one to "service" his MI series amps is a complete misnomer. Obviously none of you ignorant threatened users have ever even merely popped the cover and took a look at his engineering. Schematics included. Last time gentlemen, and i use that term loosely in...

He who laughs last. 3 months and 30 hours later on the complete recap of the blaze' Mi-800-8, it couldn't sound better. Owner himself, one owner, states it sounds better than new. Replaced every single electrostatic capacitor with Nichicon KZ, KA, or Elna Silmic II audio grade capacitors...

Gross negligence, overstating, and plain ignorance. Obviously knows nothing even about basic electronics they teach in the 10th grade of most public HS even. Scary. Is anyone in this thread NOT on drugs? The schematics for the WW amps have already been stated commonly available- inside the...

Apples and oranges. Guys like you completely missed the point and fact of this thread. Doesn't have anything to do with anyone or anything who'd stomp on his intellectual property rights, nor the original quality and engineering of his amps. Has solely to do with the average quality...

Sheesh... think you mean it USED to have the 'best sound imaginable". Again, the use life of the electrolytic capacitors WW used all expired at 10-15 years- now they are just big resistors causing bad sound and high reliability and safety issues. Doesn't have anything to do with the...

I'd like to chime in here. That's the problem with WW. ANY electrostatic capacitor, especially those made in the 1960-1995, only have a shelf life of about 10-15 years, and use life of about 10, especially in those years. The 'old' MI series HAS TO BE RECAPPED, as those ltyics were not that...

I want to rebuild or at least recap a MI-100-8, and surely someone besides old Walter himself has done so. Don't know why Walter himself has to do it. There are so many improvements in capacitors, especially in temp and audio grade available now, not just what Walter is used to for old...

Who has restored or at last recapped a Walter Woods Mi-800-8? Thinking of doing the same and Woods and his engineering has nothing on the net..:bassist:
