Good evening to all,
I have a Rotel RB-981 and I'd like (just) to know if replacing the stock 10uF/50V polarized electrolytic cap with a bipolar 10uF/50V film cap (Muse, Wima, etc) would affect the behavior of the amp. I saw people replacing these polarized capacitors with bipolar film caps (including myself previously in another amp), but saw other people keeping a polarized one in the position because this is how engineers did for "some particular" models.
What do you think? Not a problem to replace the lytic with a film one, or keep the same type of original cap?
Here below 2 images illustrating the RB-981.
Thank you.......
