RE: Russian K40y9 input coupling caps - first impressiond

Good for you. Another good thing is what looks like some nice thick input output wires, untwisted. Aluminum gets a lot of respect. The one experience I have with aluminum caps was excellent. Very natural. I say replace the .01's with the same cap and the electrolytics with Elna Silmic II'S as long as the voltage is correct. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the too much of a good thing thing unless you think you don't deserve it for some past bad deeds. Just my humble opinion.

It's my impression from what people think who have a lot of experience that tin is second to CU.
