What is the bleeder value? I usually use 75-100K 3W MOX across modern caps.
Less power wasted.

Hi All
I replaced the 4 caps in my amp, and found that one of the bleeders was
bad. Replaced it this morning.
After letting it run a while, I touched the 4 resistors and they seem to
be pretty hot. Is that normal with this amp? I know that bleeders can
get hot, but I'm more used to 1 big bleeder of 50 watts or so, not 4 at 7
watts.
Would it be better to replace the 4 bleeders with larger wattage
resistors? Thanks and 73
