if you can fit a slightly larger cap in its place check with zero cool in the trading post section. he has 15000 100v for a CHEAP price in my mind. BUT HURRY i passed on them and in our email he said they would soon be on ebay!

Why is "at least 64V" important?

Would 63V do the job?

 

[forte123]

the caps.....

thx for your answers.
the echowars caps are too long , i can fit up to 110mm tops.
as per the 64 vs 63... i got the sepcs from someone who understands. but i really don't know. 63 might do it.
thx

thx echo

these seem like a great buy price wise and size wise....
do you know anything about this brand ?
i just don't know anything about caps, and i was told mallory and cornell are good.
do you think they are at the same level ?
if so, i think i will buy them.
the price is right.
thx

If price is really that important, then do go to someone who knows (not that expert) and find out if you really need at least 64V capacitors.
Generally electrolytics of 63V and lower are much cheaper than 75V and above.

price is an issue, but not that much.
10-20 $ is ok.
the brand and the price combo is the thing.

are you using 8 or 12 for the two channel amp? i.e. +-30mF/channel (6ohm or more) or +-45mF/channel (4ohm)

 

[forte123]

andrew

didn't quite understand...
it's a forte' 4a and it has 4 caps.
i am using an 8ohm speakers at the moment (proac 125).
hope this is what you ment...

 

[AndrewT]

In my opinion +-15mF/ch is a bit light for 8ohm speakers.

 

[forte123]

a bit light

that's the original specs from the company.

These United Chemi-Con caps (which will arrive branded Nippon Chemi-Con) are superior parts to the Mallory and Cornell Dubilier ones. If they are the correct physical and electrical size for you, get them.
