RE: My Grundig 4095 restoration (many photos)

Posted by DaLarry on September 16, 2007 at 21:18:35:
I'm glad you posted the picture and links. I'm waiting on a manual to arrive before I start work on my Grundig. However, I have been thinking about it and doing research on the web. There seem to be a lot of choices in replacement capacitors for different reasons, including sonic qualites. I've seen those orange caps in several audio rebuilds and mods. Are they chosen for sound quality or some other reason?

I've decided that where there is a reasonable choice within in my budget and competence, I want to choose the component or upgrade path that leads to the best sound quality for my beauty. To do that, I will have to call on the collective wisdom which everyone in this little community so generously gives.

Thank you all in advance :-)
