It definitely wasn't bad capacitors in my case. All caps are intact, save for possibly one small surface "wafer" type. Several small resistors simply vaporized as well.
This is why I was disappointed with David Belles lack of interest in sorting the root cause. But somewhat understand as, A; I'm not the original owner, and B; there are no parts/boards to replace it regardless. But I'm still curious, and at least could read him the component locations and id #'s of the parts that vaporized.
Curiously, all the output transistors and solder points appear intact. It almost seems that the traces on the board (multi layer) may have somehow failed? Would think that after certain components vaporized, like a fuse should, it would create an "open" circuit, thus ending the meltdown. This wasn't the case, as it didn't stop until I yanked the cord. But I doubt I will do a "post mortem" disassembly.
It worked fine, died in an unfortunate though spectacular way, and the manufacturer chose a "Do Not Resuscitate" path. End of story.
