Title: stereomour 2 shunt regulator
Post by: kivanculgener on July 13, 2019, 12:56:29 PM: Hi everybody :)
i have ordered shunt regulator kit for my Stereomour 2 .While waiting for kit i had time to think about some replacements.
For example changing Dayton 0.1uf capacitor with a boutique capacitor or changing 120kohm and 300kohm resistors with Kiwame .Can it make a sonic difference?. I have a pair of 0.1uf Mundorf SIO, 0.022uf V-cap CUTF and 0.22uf Arizona Green cactus.i know SIO is same value and can be a easy change.BUT what about using 0.022uf and 0.22 uf caps.
Thank you.

This cap is there for regulator stability. I don't find huge differences between caps in those positions.

These are not in the signal path.

Have you already replaced the 0.1uF coupling caps in the amp?

Thank you for your concern.i am meaning this replacement for Shunt regulator kit.Ä°n main AMP i am using 0.1ufArizona blue cactus for two years.Sorry for my poor English🙂
