Hi, I am new member here. I am currently restoring a pair of 90s German made ALR Nummer 4 speakers. By mistake I ended up breaking two caps both philips mkt 373 series- 10uF and 1uF. (100v).I tried a Audyn branded one of the same value but with higher voltage rating but they sound much more shouty than the Orginal caps. Locally only philips mkt 344 is available with a sensible price for shipping. Are they the same ?
The problem is I only need couple of them. Shipping is very expensive. But locally 344 is available for the same 10uF value. Do you know what’s the difference between the two? 344 and 373? Both are 100v and look the same. Any idea why some philips have HQ markings on them? I am in Germany and mouser shipping to my place is unfortunately showing as 20 € the caps only cost 2 €!
