Rewiring a 1974 receiver fixed the hum, but now I miss the noise?
Three years ago I picked up a beat-up Kenwood KR-4070 at a garage sale in Tacoma for $35, and last week I finally replaced all the old caps after reading a guide online. It sounds crystal clear now, but the faint 60Hz hum used to feel like a heartbeat while I read, and silence feels strangely empty. Does anyone else find that repairing analog gear removes a bit of its soul, or is it just me?

Totally get that. Sometimes the quirks are what make old gear feel like it's actually yours.
