I have 3x M200 that all experienced the same "dirty" audio, mostly when they were just powered up, but it steadily got worse. I found that C313 was bad on all 3 units. Once replaced, they are back to normal. I suspect this issue may come back in another 6-8 years, but now I know how to fix it. C313 is a 100uf 35v electrolytic capacitor. All 3 measured about 24uf when tested.

That is an excellent post based on real life experience which may be useful to other owners.

I agree with you Xenon. These amps are dirt cheap in the failing or failed condition. There are three of these in the local Pawn shop that play but make noise. They are asking $50.00 each but I know they would take less. I have no idea where they might have originated but fate landed them with a kid trying to power a small PA system in a restaurant/bar.

If we do the math on this one I can probably buy the three units for a C-note and looks like the caps run about 60 cents each for the Nichicon caps.

This could work. Thanks FixedIt

Is there a schematic of this amplifier available? I would be interested in knowing what a complete recap might cost.

Contact Outlaw they may have a schematic and they can tell you what it would cost for them to do the repair. When you factor in the shipping I would look for a good local repair shop and let them do it. If they are just replacing like for like they may not need a schematic.

If all I am doing is recapping a unit I can handle that on my own. I have been building electronics kits since I was a kid. Some of my fondest memories are building Heathkit gear with the old man.
