Capacitors for Linn Linto phono stage Recap
Hi
I’m considering a Recap for my Linn Linto phono stage.
Attached is a screenshot of the main PCB.
1. Other than the 14 Capacitors in the attached picture, are there any other Capacitors that need changing ?
2. I read in the various forums, various preferences of Capacitors types that are worthy. Is it that different types are good for different phono stages ?
Which brand/type regardless of budget will give the best performance ?
3. Which internet shop is reliable and sells only original parts ?

By the way imhififan,

Thanks imhififan.

imhififan,
As for Tantalum SMD caps, they only come in box shape and I wasn’t able to find them in the cylinder shape I need. |
"IMO, if you want those radial capacitors sat nicely on the PCB, lead spacing is important, and its diameter as well. Newer capacitors for the same rating tend to be smaller, you can choose higher voltage rating capacitors to match the existing space." |
The caps arrived. Replacing the regular ones (even though they need double sided sodering) went smooth. The SMD caps are a nightmare to remove. I removed 4 and 2 of them cracked the pcb lines and I had to connect the caps with wires., No matter how gentle I am its a nightmare. The PCB is so delicate... |
