Supreme 3.3uF in my power amps are one of the best things I've ever done, the music positively FLOWS from my speakers now. It's only a matter of time before some go in my CDP.

Thank you All
There I go again.....

Just a question.... is there any limit on the output cap capacitance value ?
I know that the bigger the cap, the easier it is to transmit the bass... but there must be some shortcoming or you all would be using 100uF or more....😀

The reason we don't use 100uF is because of the cost and they would have to be housed in their own room due to massive size. The Marantz has 110uF as standard on its output (2x 220uF).
A 10uF Mundorf Supreme is approx 35 * 105

So the only shortcoming is size (besides cost).
I will experiment a little and report the "damages".

Where, in the power amp, did you place these films ?
Lol
Simon placed the Mundorfs in the one and only place available. I think he posted a picture a few pages ago

At the back, I had to remove some remote power control sockets.

When I wrote where, I meant where in the schematics...🙂

I always like to know the tech details.... Thank you Simon
Remember "Burning Amp".... there is always that possibility.rowemeister said:And it never even blew up!!

I hope nothing bad happens

Hum...

Can I replace the NE 5532 by some LM4562 ?

Of course, that would make it sound loads cleaner, natural and detailed.
But a simple discrete buffer sounds loads better than even LM4562.

Yes swap out the opamps then once you're happy with it slap in a DOS or DIS in this case
