Cap change advise for a Symphonies V2 preamp?

I thank you for the links and info. I'll do some shopping for the best price. I recently thought about selling but I'm a tweaker at heart Rodman99999 so stay tuned.

At the bottom of this page( http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsFilm.html ) there are a variety of caps on which you can click. I talked to them the other day, and was told they would be carrying the Vcap CuTf, "soon". ( http://www.v-cap.com/copper-teflon-capacitors.php ) I've also used DynamiCap, Multicap and auriCAP(all matched to 1%, by Michael Percy) in the past with great results(depends on what you're replacing). Something simple to bring life(blacker background/cleaner highs) to your power amp: Change the rectifier section to fast/soft recovery diodes( http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/semiconductors.html ), unless it has a tube rectifier. Tweaking/modding can be VERY rewarding, if one is interested in achieving the closest approximation of live music, in the home.

BTW: If the values that you have are .22uF/200V and .47uF/400V, the other two caps should be 1uF/400V. Keep your eyes open for a NOS(50's), Mullard(Blackburn plant) 6X4 rectifier, for the preamp.

Rodman99999,

The values I have are as follows: output caps .22uF 450v, coupling caps 1uF 450v, and the wima caps 1uF 450v. These are the values from the TNT review but they are for the first version. I still believe nothing has changed for my version 2 other than the pwr supply. I understand the new v-cap is supposed to be very good. TNT used the Auri caps but my choices are many from the links given. You the man! BTW: I have a rca blackplate 6X4 doing the rectifier duties.

Rodman99999,

Ok here's what parts-express has in terms of prices: Hovland--.22uF 400v $10.38 1uf 4oov $19.42, Auri--.22uF 400v $13.71 1uF 4oov $15.20, Multicap ppmfx series-- .22uf 400v $4.26, 1uf 400v $8.22. Hovlands are are on sale and the Multicaps are the least expensive. The Vcap are really high-ouch- but the most popular. With my pre not being all that in circuit design(simple)I tend to lean toward the Multicap. Any thoughts? With the 1uF caps I need four the .22uf just two.
