The rails on the opamps are +/-12v so those will not be any good here. They will be good on the 5v rails which will include the Dac. You'll need 16v caps for the opamp rails.

C611...614, In this position, Will it be good if I try 100uf/25v BG FK? Any improvement will I get?

Thanks

I'd prefer a larger cap on the opamps (220uf or 470uf) but you can try the 100uf there. It won't do any harm.

BG F is good?

[UV101]

Sure, where are you getting your BG's from? The final few have disappeared from everywhere in the last 12 months!!!

Black Gate F series not FK. Is BG F series is good? Anyone has used it. I have few F series caps.

I have 4 F 220uf 50v series. I am looking for FK or STD. But not getting it. But I may get NX 220uf 6.3. Where I can use BG NX 220uf 6.3?

I'd use the those 220uf 6.3v on dac analogue and then poss on the digital with some oscon polymer across them. How many do you have?

Can you please pinpoint in which position in DAC? I have 4.

I have Elna cerafine 220uf, Elna ROS 220uf and Elna Silmic II 220uf and BG F 220uf but 50V. Among these which I can use for opamp section and DAC section?

Thanks

I've done a lot of Black Gate rolling in my player. Actually all but 3 of the electrolytic caps in there are Black Gates of various types.

I've got some F series 100uF 50v but I'm afraid I've never enjoyed the sound any time I've tried to use them and I've always ended ripping them out again after a short time. I'm afraid they're not a patch on the FK as far as my ears are concerned.

I use 6.3v 470uF NX on all my 5v digital supplies and like those there a lot. I have FK on all analogue except op-amp 12v, where I've tried rolling a few different BGs and I'm now settled on the 16v 470uF N series.
