RE: output caps for Marantz cd5004

Thats correct. The output coupling cap on most gear, whether tube or SS is usually much larger than necessary. If you know the input Z of the following device, its easy to calculate what you need. I usually end up yanking the nasty electrolytic out and installing a smaller value film cap. Bass extension is still fine. Even if you dont know the input Z, use a scope and signal generator to measure the -3db point, and go from there.
