Title: Eros cap value question
Post by: grosen on September 25, 2012, 03:45:40 PM

Nearing the home stretch with my Eros build and I've got a question. The manual specifies 1.0uF 630v caps from T6U to T9U and from T7U to T10U.  The Solens that came with mine are both 1.50uF.  Should I just go ahead and use them?

Yes, use them. I think there was a shortage at the supplier; I do remember approving the larger value. I don't think anyone will notice the difference unless they are driving a very low impedance preamp, in which case it would be an improvement.

It's a free upgrade. Be happy.
