Anywhere. My intagrated chip amp that I posted pics of a couple months ago ened up having a bad cap. I have hunted high and low, but I cant find one. I can get 1000uf all day, but 1500 is like looking for the golden goose. Is this not a common value? Theres 1 parts store in town but they are never open. Should I just pull the remaining 3 1500's and replace them with 1000's, or up them to 1 3300 per channel since there are 2 1500's per channel ?

Depends where they are located in the circuit.
Strange, 1500µF caps are easily obtainable here since it is a common value.

No I dont have a schematic, although I wish I did. I was hoping that someone looking at it could tell me if it's paralell. I'll have to look close at the traces on the board. I have a stupid question. I have 2 Solen 400v 3.3 uf caps. Could these be used? I know they're different types, but would it work, or am I an idiot?:scratch:
