Sutherland Club House

It was an old store demo unit, and the plugs into the board are also a tad loose, so I suspect it was just plugged and unplugged a lot. I'm sending the whole thing back to Sutherland hoping they can at least fix the LPS but maybe take a gander at the board just to make sure everything there looks fine.

I only found out about it as sound started fading once while playing and it's because the system was losing power.

That makes sense. I noticed when I swapped in the LPS today that it takes a minute for the power to drain. I had forgotten about that. Similar to tubes, which is interesting.

It’s the size of the transformer in it, it holds current. My big sbooster linear power supply does the same.

Did it with the switching power supplies when I unplugged them. I think it's all those caps if I had to guess, but honestly I have no idea.

Yup, the caps are what store the power.
