Got wrong sized capacitors, can I still use them?+
Hi. Before I ask my question just wanted to say that I exchanged my mesmerize board for a hypnotize and Tea-Bag has been extremely patient and helpful, considering the problem was mine and not his. Thanks a lot Tea-Bag!
I made the mistake of buying nichicon kg golds, 30mm diameter caps, so I can't place all four in their respective locations because the last two don't fit. If I place the two outer ones upside down (on the bottom of the board) then I can use them. They are wide enough that I need to also not mount them flushed to the surface because they would get in the way of the mur820's and jumper j3. These are snap-ins, so I don't have long legs to work with.
Not knowing enough about this stuff, is there a problem with doing this?
I would end up with the two that are closest to the mur820's being mounted to the underside of the board, the two furthest away would be mounted on top.
Should I just buy the right diameter caps and forget about using these?
Thanks.

Morning.
Sorry, for being so amateur. Just one last question before I hookup the transformer. I want to be double sure, I'm doing it right.
The transformer is R Core and it's secondaries have 4 wires. It must be 15-0-0-15. I suppose I should wire the 0s to the center tap, and two 15s to the left and right? Is it correct?

You may connect correctly electrically for +/- any proper uF and Volt capacitor. Aesthetically, its your decision.
Will report soon.
Just shows that one audio JFETs pair is a bit less well matched than the other, still well within non issue territory. You could check the voltages across the 10R current setting resistors for each rail. That will give us the CCS currents.
Hi Andrew, I'm not sure what you mean here if you were responding to my post.
Salas, can't thank you enough for all the help.
I will check V across 10R when back at home.
Hm, really worried about that jfet mismatch even if there will be no issue. Wanted to do all the best, but must be my inexperienced hand or eye that slipped some error.
Now, I'm concerned about the grounding. As I have even less understanding about it, would you recommend an article on it or some tips?
I've seen mentioning star grounding earlier. That's what I'm intending to investigate.
Its very normal, very low offset. Within experimental error. A few degrees C change and it will measure different. Forget it.
Carbon film would be preferred to carbon composition for this purpose? Thanks again.
