Orientation Of Capacitors In The Stereomour

Wilberforce,

As promised, here is a photo. The stock cap is the one in my fat and ugly little meat hook ;0)

Haven't listened to it yet. I had a glass of wine with dinner so I do not go anywhere around voltages that can kill me. I have to check the meter readings before I fire it up and should do so sometime this weekend.

Looking good. Anxious to hear your listening impressions.

Thank you for the link...that is a higher uF value than I expected, so that is very helpful. It is virtually the same price to order a set of four as two, if I was looking at the same products (I'm pretty sure I was).  I suppose that makes sense as the shipping is a large part of the price.

All this talk made me go ahead and order the Mundorf silver/oil caps that I've been Jonesing for since I built the Stereomour.  I went ahead and ordered the 2.7 uF for the parafeed and the 0.1 uF for the coupling cap.  I will try them out for a while once they arrive and get installed.  Then I will be able to try adding the bypass caps to the parafeed, and 0.22 uF seems just right. 

Cheers,
John

John,

Here is a link to some KK Teflon caps:

0.1uF@600V $25/pr delivered

(I have used this seller and gotten good service, delivery from Ukraine is about 2 weeks.)

They are NOS USSR Military Surplus that are pretty good sounding and reasonable.  I have bypassed with 0.1uF.

Here is a link to the fast break in post:

(For me it opens on my post about fast break in.)
