I set firmly the values since these are calculated and very important to consider. Also 10 uF MKT is of utmost importance to be in the circuit, tested at MHz bandwidth region. 
Above applies also to the PSU local (PCB) capacitors , I'm talking about those 1000uF ???

Measuring an FR 2200uF 6.3V for ESR in circuit on Paradise phono gives 0.031 Ohm which is usually 0.01 less for this instrument if measured off circuit to grip the leads better. (Went there if I firmly pressed the crocks down in circuit also, 29C ambient). That one ties with the 0.020R 100kHz 20C for its 20x10mm size can @6.3V in Panasonic's datasheet. Reliable data.

If you haven't got an LCR don't spend on a separate ESR meter, get a good LCR that includes the function, also DF & Q. Best handheld is IET DE-5000.
Salas! I have seen a few "different" MESR-100. I think yours is the latest one. I saw one of this meter open and I saw TWO ELECTROLYTIC caps inside. I am not sure if your is the same, but if it is...I would measure them to make sure those electrolytic caps are still good. imagine an E.S.R meter with bad caps! That MESR-100 E.S.R meter looks way better build than those "ATLAS" plastic toys meters.
They could be peripheral to the chip, everything is OK as long as it manages to auto zero. Those 44/100 HRC 35mm fuses for the 87V are ouch priced BTW. I blew one recently.😀
Hi all,
so Elna & Blackgates is not good?
I try to make PCB with 680uF BGF & 2200uF/16v Elna Cerafine...
I'm also want to put more voltage +/-50VDC maybe, how to make CCS for it?
I have few K170 & K246, they can't use with that voltage right
Thanks

Does anyone have part numbers for alternative capacitors since the FGs seem to be a bit hard to come by?
Nichicon KA Series?
Panasonic FR?
I'd prefer to order all caps in one go so as not to be beaten to death on shipping.

If you order at Mouser the will send backordered FG separately from rest of your order free of charge, at least that is what they offered me (and I said No I will wait 🙁 )
Dear LC,
It would be interesting to see the DC output of the SMPS on a scope...how clean they are?
I am inclined to use regulated supplies these days...

We talkes about how the Japanese measure or quantify sound quality.
The most exotic test i know is the Hirata Test.
As ar as i know tubes did really well on this.

I will use 225VA trafo, 8x switch diodes, 20x 2200uf, each channel
but then, in 40V series you can get some pretty nice and big longlife 22000uf at ok prices
4x 22000uf per channel ?

I guess it is a trade off. but remember the more parts you put...the more are the chances they can go bad. in my case I would not use more than four caps for the power supply, as long as they are good quality and low E.S.R...all will be good!
PS: I always use Mundorf audio grade caps in my power supplies. They are excellent!😉
Capacitor dimensions for VSSA PCB:
- 10 uF/63 V, MKT, Vishay-Roederstein, 2 pcs
Lead Spacing: 15 mm
External Depth: 8.5 mm
External Height: 17.5 mm
External Width: 18 mm
Regards Lazy Cat
I am searching for the MKT and I find this Vishay-Roderstein, MKT, 10uF 63V on Mouser's stock list: 75-MKT1822610065
Lead spacing is 27.5mm much larger than your spec. Can you point me to the one you used?
Thanks.

Well I have been watching closely - this is a fantastic result (amplifier design and pcb layout) LC. You kept it simple in layout and in physical form. I know you promised that you'd do this but it isn't easy and it turned out very well indeed.
I think this has turned out to be the 'F5' of the SS forum (meant as a compliment).
The LatFET is so well suited to this topology because of the ease of thermal compensation and ease of drive. The two-in-one package for the FETs was really the icing on the cake.
