On the original Aleph L schematic (not Ver 1.2) there is a capacitor in each channel across the constant current source driver Q102, Q103... The caps are C102 and C103. The schematic calls for 680uf in this location but this cannot be correct.The space alloted on the PCB is way too small for a 680uf cap. Does anyone know what the actual value might be. Needless to say without the cap the circuit suffers from bad parasitic oscillation but adding a .01 cleans it right up and its all very stable. Anything much larger than this value causes massive high end roll off. Whats up here?

If I would risk a guess it is probably 680pF (at least it has the same size as c104 and c204 on the PCB). My guess would be that any film cap that fits on the pcb will do the job. When constructing a professional application it is often finacially beneficial to use the same value on as many components as possible.
