KPA 500

Tobyp
Recently,  I sent the KPA 500 in for a repair  ( probably my fault ) which they covered under warranty.

When the amp came back I noticed these Mods and upgrades:

Replaced 39PF 1kv 17 meter mod cap with a 2kv.  Added fan and side handle spacers.

Would the spacers help any with fan noise?

The spacers where added to stop damage of the handle and fans by
overtightened the mounting bolts.
It has nothing to do with "fan noise"
