Original Aleph P1.7 in/out caps

bbakota2000 · 27th November 2004, 02:23 AM

Does anyone know which couplig caps were used in the original Aleph P1.7 preamp? I can see from the picture that they are red (they could be BC components or Xicon MKP caps). Does anyone know for shure?
THANKS

I'm pretty sure they're Panasonic ECQ-E(F) Series

DigiKey part# EF1106-ND

This is the part used in the Balanced Zen Line Stage.

Are you sure?
The Panasonic ECQ-E(F) Series are metallized polyester film capacitors, and most of the DIYers says that this sort of capacitor isn't very good in audio.

Hi,

I don´t think Nelson shares this "fear" of normal caps (or even electrolitic ones

).
