Noltage ratings can determine where the caps are used.There are many capacitors out there.The V-caps are excellent,but expensive as a bypass.Infinitis are good ,but a little dry.I understand the Solen and Auricaps make good bypass caps.It all depends on the amount of money you wish to spend and how many times you wish to change the solder connections.
Replacing caps in a Mesa Baron and need some help.
I'm on unfamiliar ground here and I hope you guys can help me out. I'm assuming bypass caps would be in the neighborhood of the tube sockets, and power supply caps would be in the area of the transformers? Mesa is sending me their recommended Wima caps, all are .1 uf. Are there better caps? And are caps actually designed to be bypass (amplifier) caps, rather than for instance, crossover caps? Just for reference, I have always felt that the Baron amp is a bit overstated in the bottom end, but liquid midrange and treble.
