Gents & ladies,

I don't have the newest TenTec rigs but I really love my old Corsair 
II. I'm in the process of replacing all the electrolytics with new 
Ultra Low ESR caps. After so many years, there's a bit of internal 
noise that wasn't there before and I suspect these caps will fix the 
issues. When it's up to its usual par, it hears a fly pass gas at 20 
feet. 

With that I submit the Corsair II as one of the top 3 TenTec rigs 
ever made.
