I am in the middle of re-capping a NAD C352 and the replacement Panasonic caps have recently arrived. The four caps C111, C112, C113, and C114 were ordered on the basis of what appears on the schematic and parts list. That is 22 microfarads at 16 volts. I have just discovered after removing these four caps from the PCB that 50 volt caps were used in these four locations.
The four caps are in an early stage of the power amp but beyond that I don’t really understand their function. I guess that it is likely that 50 volts components may have been substituted for the 16 volt specified components simply because of stock on hand on the day. (the original caps are JH and look to be from day 1). Does anyone have knowledge of this amp and can suggest whether or not it would be wise to use the specified caps in the rebuild.
