stereomour 2 shunt regulator

[kivanculgener]

Hi everybody
    i have ordered shunt regulator kit for my Stereomour 2 .While waiting for kit i  had time to think about some replacements.
For example changing Dayton 0.1uf capacitor with  a boutique capacitor or changing 120kohm and 300kohm resistors with Kiwame .Can it make a sonic difference?. I have  a pair of 0.1uf Mundorf SIO, 0.022uf V-cap CUTF and 0.22uf Arizona Green  cactus.i know SIO is same value and can be a easy change.BUT what about using 0.022uf and 0.22 uf caps.
  Thank you.

Hi everybody
For example changing Dayton 0.1uf capacitor with  a boutique capacitor

This cap is there for regulator stability.  I don't find huge differences between caps in those positions.

or changing 120kohm and 300kohm resistors with Kiwame.

These are not in the signal path.

Can it make a sonic difference?. I have  a pair of 0.1uf Mundorf SIO, 0.022uf V-cap CUTF and 0.22uf Arizona Green  cactus.i know SIO is same value and can be a easy change.BUT what about using 0.022uf and 0.22 uf caps.                         

Have you already replaced the 0.1uF coupling caps in the amp?

Hı Paul
  Thank you for your concern.i am meaning this replacement for Shunt regulator kit.Ä°n main AMP i am using 0.1ufArizona blue cactus for two years.Sorry for my poor English

I believe you can use a 0.22uF for Cc without causing problems, but I would recommend sticking with the 0.1uF size.
