Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

There are some very interesting moments with the not-so-expensive Sonicap Gen I caps, which I have described in the K&K thread. I will replace the 935s with these.  I am willing to take the chance that the little .033 uF 1000V 950s in my unit are just overrated bypass caps, and I will replace those, too, with the Sonicap Platinum teflons, since I now know this combination from the K&K.

Yes, yes, I know we're not supposed to use the same caps everywhere.  But I am presently thinking that the Sonicaps are simply more "correct" from an electrical standpoint, and I am willing to take a flier on them based on this (as heard, of course).

Good point about the potential for overheating/de-soldering the old cap lead stubs at the thru-holes; I will try to be careful when the time comes.  I have little heat sink clips that I use to divert heat from where it's unwanted.  I was actually thinking I could use my de-soldering gun to simply remove the old cap leads cleanly, but I would indeed be very pissed if I messed this up and wound up having to take the board out to make it right.

Like I confessed a while back, Duelund definitely had me at one point. I was totally hypnotized, ripe for the picking; but insufficient funds curtailed the madness.

Best regards,
