Hi Friends,

I live in France, close to Nice.

My job is IT Director and my hobby is the repairing of old Hi-Fi devices, such as the vintage amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, K7, etc... as well as upgrading modern high-end devices.
I have probably changed around 1,000 capacitors since the beginning of the year !

I am particularly look to the best available capacitors, to be used in the audio circuits or audio power supplies.

Hello guys,

Im from Bosnia & Herzegovina, 21 yo, studying Electronics Engineering in BanjaLuka (3rd year). From my childhood I was interested how electronic's staff is working, so I managed to get everything apart. Have a lot of projects made from the parts I get from old electronics, learning Java (for Android Development) and currently working in small PC/laptop/mobile phone service.

Registred to this forum, because there are probbably (for sure) a lot of people with more experience than myself, so I can get help about something and also for my free time I'll read some topics in order to help the others - if Im familiar with certain topic.

Re: New Members - Hello. Nice To Meet.

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/images...:nutkick::bow:
And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread "clean" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said "w00t.. they have a forum"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..
