In Reply to: RE: Recapping a Electrocompaniet 4.5 preamp ... is it worthwhile ? posted by mrplatte on July 16, 2014 at 03:36:18
Hi and thanks
To be precise in my unit they have been already replaced with some black Audyn Cap i think MKP, really too big.
I have instead bought four of these in the picture that i intend to use
They are the Mundorf entry level.
Problem is that both Audyn and Mundorf are much larger than the original
Do you mean that the ERO MKC are perfectly ok ?
I could try to find some like the originalBut the really sad thing is that PS caps are closely mounted (why they do this with all the space available is a mystery to me).
I would have double their uF very happily.
And i am sure that this could be beneficial, maybe even more than signal coupling caps replacement.
More energy available, lower impedance, less noise, higher quality caps ... every parameter would be better.
I should find a way to do this, maybe leaving some length in the terminals
Kind regards,

In my opinion they are neutral and I prefer them to MKP which often 'sound' like plastic.
If you want them a little warmer, shunt little Styroflex Caps like 1nF.
For me, the entry level Mundorf MKP is no good cap.

Hi Peter and thanks again
Now that you mention them i have seen them also in a bryston preamp
The original ones are lost unfortunately
But looking on ebay i see squared and cilindrical ones
Are equally ok ?" and I prefer them to MKP which often 'sound' like plastic.

Peter "arrgh ... i was sure of the selection ... even if they are entry level
I will take out the present ones and measure the distance between the pins
on the pcb
Are also the cilindrical ok ?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,

The axial/cylindrical ones are ok.
You could also try Kemet (Rifa/Evox) SMR or Siemens MKL, my prefered caps in low voltage applications. Look @ ebay (.de)

Hi and thanks again
I will go hunting for them. They are less common i see
I have found one vendor but i have to check if he ships to Norway where i am
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,

The Bulgarian or Romania guys will ship to Norway.
For Kemet there is a supplier in Sveden.
Hi and thanks again.
I will try them. Siemens caps are quite famous.
I remember the mythical Sikorels ... now Epcos i think.
Kind regards,
