Greetings,
I am more of guitarist than electronic wiz. I am just learning about this stuff and have been experimenting/learning by doing with my guitar amp. Changing coupling caps, filter caps, tubes, transformers, wire, speakers etc. Its kind of addicting! I have heard improvements already by changing out some of the coupling caps, phase inverter caps, and currently changing out the power/filter caps from Illinois to Sprague.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding replacement caps for the radial electrolytics. I have a guitar amp with Illinois Radial Caps and want to replace those with more improved model. I have heard about Blackgate being the best, but also more expensive than Panasonic. Will it make much of a difference Panasonic vs Blackgate? I have read that the better radial electrolytic will make the amp less noisy and heat resistance is another factor to consider.
You guys are are all light years ahead of me with this stuff, so I figured I've come to the right place for advice.
Hope someone can weigh in on this.
Thanks
