Affordable best caps for aleph 5 - PSU -

[albertli]

Hi all,

I'm going to build a Aleph 5 and start to collect parts. Any good suggestion on PSU caps?
Thanks

Panasonic TS-HA fit the bill nicely.

Thanks guys,

The TS-HA series is going to be discontinued. Can anyone point me to where I could source them.
Actually whatever can provide full body sound with deeper bass will do. I like rock music.😉

An Aleph 5 might not be what you want.

Only 20mm diameter cans were discontinued. The sizes required for Pass amps typically have 30mm+ diameter cans and remain in production. Digikey have 2000+ TSHA 10,000uf/63V in stock for instance.

MikeW, Do you mean the Aleph 5 can't rock? Would like to listen more.

Aleph amps have a great midrange and highs, but their strength is not bass. If you want bass build a X100 amp or Krell clone.

Or build both and bi-amp.

I will second that nomination for a KRELL...if 50 watts is enough, you cannot beat the low end of the KRELL KSA-50. All the information for building one is on the DIYAUDIO wiki page.

Thanks for the advise.

50 watts Krell will be perfect, but I can't locate the wiki site through search engine. Would you point me to the said site. Thanks

Dan,

Thanks for the offer. What is the volts rating and brand with your caps. I need something 63v minimum.
What I need is something 20,000-30,000uf, but I don't really know what different it will make on sound with bigger capacitance. ( between the 20,000uf and 68,000uf ).

Thanks
