Upgrades Capacitor / other

[Tabaia]

I was looking at the review from Lachlan - Passion of sound.
He upgraded the 10uF 250v Capacitors which I also ended up doing.
Very much liking that sound.
But I also wanted to ask if anyone has done any experimenting on the Bias regulator board with those capacitors.
Would there be a change in sound? is it worth trying different 1uF 400V capacitors.
Or do those not affect the sound of the amp?

Are there any other upgrades that anyone has made that is significant.
Has anyone tried different wiring from the RCA connections to the headphone jack / xlr?

Would love to hear what anyone has done.

There is a small change in sound when using different 0.1uF/400V compensation caps in the regulator portion of the circuit, but it's not all that substantial.

Is there any issue or concern if the voltages are higher than specified?
Like this Jantzen Silver Z capacitor
Capacitance: 0.1uF
Voltage: 1200Vdc

 

[Paul Birkeland]

Higher voltages are fine.  that particular cap is pretty long and may be tough to fit in that particular spot.

 

[Tabaia]

Thanks Paul I will look for one thats suits the spot better

 

[Tabaia]

Would either of these work?

0.1uF 1000Vdc Mundorf MCap Supreme EVO Silver Gold Capacitor
Body dimensions: 11mm (diameter) x 23mm (length)

0.1uF 630Vdc Duelund CAST PIO Pure Copper Capacitor (This one stands upright ont horizontal)
Body dimensions: 35mm (diameter) x 40mm (length)

 

[Paul Birkeland]

The Mundorf is probably the least ungainly.

Hi Paul,
Do you think its worth doing? or do you have any other suggestions?
Perhaps going to a bit of bother for not much gain.

 

[Paul Birkeland]

Auricaps are going to fit nicely.

Thanks Paul
