Hi everybody.
After three years of listening and flawless operation of Eros with Denon DL 110 cartdrige, i'm thinking of upgrading the output coupling capacitors of the phonograph amplifier. Does the pair need to be matched? And why; I've read some good reviews and decided to buy a pair.
I do not know if a matched pair is needed.

Thank you in advance
Yours sincerely, George

Not needed but easy enough to get from any of the major cap sellers for a buck or two per pair.  Parts Connexion has the Solen Teflon film and foil caps in 0.47uF and this is what I use.  No need to use  anything larger, just ensure your cap has at least a 400v rating.
