SSLV1.1 builds & fairy tales

What make is the big filter 6800uF PSU cap?

It is branded "Marcon"

When I remember correctly, I unsoldered it out of an never used Studer smps.

I think for the first fire up, I will use a reduced voltage (not 36VAC) from this test-tranny (the device on the left), to not exceed the limits of some parts.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

It has a 32VAC configuration too I see. Practical thing. Not a variac, multitap. Fully isolated? Not autoformer?

Indeed, a very practical thing.

Yes, it is fully isolated, not an autoformer. It is a "normal" 230V primary tranny inside with two double tapped 16VAC secondaries.

I purchased it on a flea market, some time ago.

Tomorrow, we in Switzerland are looking how things are developping in the world.

I for myself I will spend the day drilling, soldering and testing...

Imagine having a Swiss bank holiday. Luxury only to put the phrase together.

Oh, it IS a bank holiday. National holiday.

Hi Erik

I purchased this caps in a small shop in Zurich, where the stock is empty now.

About the quality: this are good caps.

And they look good on a black pcb.

I did not compare it to others but I also use some in my simplistic Salas RIAA and I like the result.

I dont understand, why they brand this caps as MKP.

This caps are made of metallized polycarbonate, I would call it MKC.

Threading on a sunny day was enough to call it a day. Looks good.

Maybe they had tons of printed boxes from their MKP ranges to use?
There is a thread running about MKC and its qualities in audio as we speak...
