Panasonic FCs for the 100uF decoupling caps...
If you use Cerafines or, if you can find it, Blackgates it would be perfect 😉
Not sure about that, but I will keep it in mind for the 3R3 version. 😉
OK, I'll do that.

I just noticed that I have 100uF/35V Elna Silmic II caps, will they do OK?
Regards
I've a component selection very similar to yours, try those caps... 😉
Sadly no, too much reverbs.
Maybe Silmic first version (ROS)

Parts Connexion has the ROA cerafines, otherwise I'm afraid I'm stuck and go for Nichicon FG caps?

OK, I ordered some Elna Cerafines and Nichicon FG caps from Parts Connexion.
Now I have to do something I really hate, and that is desoldering parts 😡

Also HiFi Collective in UK has them but I've answered too late, sorry...
Sorry, but I think you'll like the result 😉
Voila, the Panasonic FC's are out. Now I have to wait until my package from PC arrives.
Do the Cerafines have preference over the Nichicon's?

Elna, warmer -IMO
Nichicon, I use the MUSE in the kits, A little cooler. both detailed. Not too in the way anyways.
I think power supply bias and signal resistors have the most influence here. All opinion of course.
You will see in your system contex what will fit you best after familiar enough with the buffer added I guess. Keep a choices arsenal, but its always safe to start with tips of those who have been there before. I preferred BGNX to cerafine when they were available, but alas, now its an irrelevant tip.
IMHO, Silmics II adds reverbs that are not present on signal.
Since in my system a buffer isn't strictly necessary, I've checked againt a simple SMD stepped attenuator (identical to the one used on the DCB1).
I do agree, in fact I'm using Black Gate STD and PKs on leds, second best were Cerafines.
Yes, the higher grade Nichicon KZ (they were the first caps mounted) and they sound very good too (full and pleasant) but in the long term they sound somewhat confused Vs other caps.
I've had the same feeling in every place I've used them...
I've recently tried also the green bipolar ones in the DCB1, too much warm.
Took the plunge and am waiting for my full kit with black PCB from TB. I'm going to try the vishay foils (TX2575) I want 4 for the 220R values, should I get more for any other position on the board?
Thanks,
