Anyone know a source for the 10 uf aeon cap? Seems like all the suppliers
I have found dont have that value, and it about the only affordable cap that actually fits the board with out manipulation.
thanks for any leads,
Russellc

Mundorf Film Capacitors

I realize they are both close, but Nelson suggests the Aeon 10uf, so I know its out there somewhere! The mundorfs look great, I assume the 24 * 33 are the measurments? 33 (metric) is perfect length if so...

Say, if you do have a couple, I'll be happy to purchase them as well as the price of shipping. Have you ever ordered from blue planet before? It looks like its "Orca", who I used to buy focal drivers from years ago. My Mozzilla browser
keeps popping up a warn that its an untrusted site and so forth. Sometimes this is nothing, and other times its an imposter phishing. I suspect all is well and this is why I ask if you've been using them lately? Strange that I cant find any contact info other than the address on the site.

Papa recommended Axon caps because they're affordable MKP specimens.
The cap on the output is there to block DC, the larger size is necessary for decent production of low frequencies.
10uF is a (de facto) standard value for the output of anything from buffers to phono stages and line amps, as in "easy to get"
A value of 4.7uF would be cutting corners, but the only one that can tell 9.1uF, 11uF, or 10uF apart is your wallet.
Bigger never hurts, btw.

Thank you for clarifying this caps function and the effect (or lack there of)
in the B-1 of slightly different sizes.. Problem isnt really a problem. It just called for them, so that's what I looked for. Now its just a matter of size.
Thanks again,
Russellc
i looked and i do not have any 10uf. i bought a bunch of axon from them, although it's been over a year ago.
excerpt from original b1 article :
(I used Axon 10 uF metallized polypropylene from Orca Design). Feel free to use any comparable types.

I made the same mistake in looking for 'Aeon' but they are known as 'Axon'.
Here's another source that seems to have that one in stock:
Speaker City sells speakers, drivers, audiophile loud: Axon True Caps 250 volt 5%

That's why I construct my b1 with axon 11uf from partconnexion. Much cheaper than other supplier of axon 10uf.
A metal foil capacitor.
The likes of Vishay Roederstein KP1830-KP1837, Wima FKP, Reliable Cap PPFA/X.
Or prime beef polystyrene such as Relcap RT/RTX, small size Wondercaps or old school Siemens KS.
And PTFE caps, as the Chateauroux/SCR that was linked to, or something Russian to keep it cheapo.
A stack of 2.2uF Wima FKP with a 0.1uF styroflex/teflon bypass is pretty ok, shame it looks so messy.
