Aleph 30 capacitors ?

Tomasz Rodak · 6th November 2002, 09:06 AM

Hello everybody !

I'd like to know weather it is worth to use very cheap Asian type
electrolityc capacitors 10 000 uF and 220 uF in Aleph 30 or it is better to spend more money on Elna for example.
How big will the sound difference be?
Can I mix capacitor types in Aleph power supply (6x10 000uF)

Regards
Tomek

Asian type? No good. But, I always use them. Maybe, that is why my Zen sound...

Elna? Yes good. One of my Zen is made with four of them, but the sound is the same as the above Zen...

One thing to mention: Cheap caps don't last as long as a more expensive cap. e.g. a BC series 154 last for over 20,000 hours at 85 C while a moderate brand lasts for about 5000 hours.
