Capacitors for Audio Research Reference 5se


Hi
I need your help . I am looking for at least one capacitor for my Audio Research Reference 5SE (10uf150V, white). I tried to buy from the manufacturer, unfortunately this model is no longer in stock. I can buy one from the current production, but it is a different capacitor and I am afraid how it will affect the sound quality. Currently, I have installed V-Cap ODAM 10uf150V and I am waiting for them to warm up.

If after a suitable burn in time you're still not getting the sound you want, you might consider running some small bypass caps in parallel with the ODAMs that won't change the value enough to impact their electrical duties, but that might offer a different sonic signature.  It's subjective, and it's sort of a shot in the dark, but it's not too expensive or tough to try vs a total re-do.  Hopefully, the ODAMs will come around to your liking.

What is it about the way you're posting that makes your posts look so strange ?

To sum up, I will wait until the V Caps work for 300-400 hours, if I am not satisfied, I will consider purchasing original capacitors from the current ARC production.
