Cap change advise for a Symphonies V2 preamp?

Hey Rodman99999,

As always I thank you for your info. My problem is two of the three pairs have values but the output caps don't. TNT did mention the values so I may have to do some research. Perhaps changing one pair at a time? BTW lots of room but may have to use a hot glue gun or some blutak.

I thank you for the links and info. I'll do some shopping for the best price. I recently thought about selling but I'm a tweaker at heart Rodman99999 so stay tuned.

Rodman99999,

The values I have are as follows: output caps .22uF 450v, coupling caps 1uF 450v, and the wima caps 1uF 450v. These are the values from the TNT review but they are for the first version. I still believe nothing has changed for my version 2 other than the pwr supply. I understand the new v-cap is supposed to be very good. TNT used the Auri caps but my choices are many from the links given. You the man! BTW: I have a rca blackplate 6X4 doing the rectifier duties.

Rodman99999,

Ok here's what parts-express has in terms of prices: Hovland--.22uF 400v $10.38 1uf 4oov $19.42, Auri--.22uF 400v $13.71 1uF 4oov $15.20, Multicap ppmfx series-- .22uf 400v $4.26, 1uf 400v $8.22. Hovlands are are on sale and the Multicaps are the least expensive. The Vcap are really high-ouch- but the most popular. With my pre not being all that in circuit design(simple)I tend to lean toward the Multicap. Any thoughts? With the 1uF caps I need four the .22uf just two.

Rodman99999,

With a meter how would I check for proper orientation? On the caps I want to change there a white wire connected to one end and the other is a bare wire. Without a diagram to go by I need to know what to look for with a meter.

Yep I saw that after I wrote to you. They do a great job in explaning things. Thanks again.
