Looks like a great choice and maybe something I'll do as well. Is the 70C cap rating OK for the long term?


BK

I think so. If I have ambient temperatures inside the amplifier that hot, I have other issues to worry about. IMO.

The caps are spaced off the board 1-1.5mm, I need to put a bit of 3m extreme mounting tape there to help strain relief. They should get plenty of air flow as the top will be heavily perforated and the bottom plate is as well.

Please put me down for 1 set. Will send paypal and shipping details via PM.

I just ordered a set of 5.6uF Clarity caps since I just placed an order for another pair of SS 10F’s. $10ea so not bad at all.

So the question is will the Tinman ever get around to getting an Alpha or just talk about caps and harmonic distortion on his KEFs? 🙂

Put me down for another set X! Can I also get an additional set of the alumina insulators for my first set of boards? I'll gladly pay an extra $1.

 

[xrk971]

Those insulators maybe will take 3 weeks to get here from China. But sure I will add you for another pair.

 

[jwjarch]

I can wait. Thanks X!

For those of you who are requesting ceramic insulator pads (qnty 4 TO264) after you have already paid. Please send me $2 via send funds feature in PayPal (add note what it’s for) - too much trouble to generate another invoice. Thanks, X.
