Hi All,
I am in the process of changing out my power transformer for my TSE-II, which requires changing out the choke, and most likely C4 (I have a Motor run cap as well).
Because I wasn't sure what value I'd need in the end, I ordered a bunch of different caps for C4, all in the cheapish / mid-range, like this:
https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/647-UCY2H470MHD
(Nichicon 47uf 500V 20%, ~$6, down to $2-$3 for lower values)
I do remember someone discussing this before, but can no longer find the thread, so apologies if this has been answered: Am I going to regret not spending a few more bucks on a capacitor while I have the whole amp open? I remember someone saying that if you have a Motor Run cap than the quality of C4 becomes less important -- or am I mixed up?
Thanks!
