Eros-2: I built it my way

@PB and PJ

Are there any sonic benefits if I replace the 1000uf 6V electrolytic caps with SANYO OSCON polymers? Partsconnexion have stock of 1500uf@4V and [email protected]

Paul Birkeland:
They are 10,000uF at 6.3V caps, and I don't see an OSCON cap that is anywhere near that big. 

The 1500uF/4V cap looks to have really short leads for PC board mounting, so that's certainly something to avoid. 

georgeged:
Clear. Thanks Paul.

Paul Birkeland:
You could try something like this:

Doc B.:
IIRC we tried OSCON caps in one of the first iterations of the Eros and leakage was an issue so we abandoned the idea. But maybe I'm confusing my prototypes. Too many years and too many products.
