You need to find a pair of 100V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors with Screw Terminals which can be easily purchased from either Mouser, Digikey or Newark in the US. The originals were Mallory brand but it doesn't matter. You must be careful to measure height and diameter if you go larger than 15,000uF to make sure they fit in the space you have so you may not be able to go much larger than 25,000uF. You are looking at a price of $35 to $40 each in this capacitance size range. The amp will sound better with a larger capacitors as Jon suggests. If you don't know what you are doing, have someone else do the work. Installing with the wrong polarity would be catastrophic....
capacitors to Thrshold S/160 amp
Hello friends, I'm looking capacitors for my Threshold S / 160, they are 15000uF 100v, I talked to Jon Soderberg, and told me the following:
The amplifier is in need of new capacitors to continue operation with much performance.
With new, larger value caps the amp will Have More bass and better detail as well.
Regards,
Jon Soderberg
but has not given me more information, that capacitor is not the best for Threshold, and place the most suitable without spending much money ...
a greeting and I hope your answers
many thanks
