0.1µF 100V ceramic capacitor (Z5U) broken lead

[Omegabuzz]

Hi,

One of the lead of 0.1µF 100V ceramic capacitor (Z5U) broke during the assembly of the Eros phono stage. I have Wima capacitors in stock. Can I replace these ceramic capacitors with Wima 0.1uf 100V Film Capacitors?

Thanks

Yves

If at all possible, you should contact replacementparts(at)bottlehead(dot)com to ask for a replacement ceramic cap.  Film caps don't have the same low impedance at the frequencies of interest for a snubber cap in this application, so the Wima may not work properly.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your help.
