Deciding what caps to use

[NOSaint94]

Hey guys

So I am trying to decide what caps to use in the 737. I was thinking of using Nichicon PW as much as possible in the power supply and Nichicon FG for the audio path. What do y'all think? Would you guys have any recommendations for something better? Cost doesn't really bother me I am more concerned about getting the best quality and best sounding caps :yes:

Here's a link to the post with the latest SX-737 recommended recap list by Mark I could find. It's from 2009, so some may need to be changed:
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2404311&postcount=36

Here's the complete post it came from:
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=199020&highlight=sx737

Any updates, and I'll edit my thread with recap list links to suit.

EDIT:
Changed my Recap list post to link to this thread, now that it has an updated, although preliminary, list by Mark!

Quite a few need to be changed. working on it...

You might consider the Silmic II's for the audio path, but I'm a big fan of the Nichicon stuff also. I have the SX-737 also and I like it very much, so I'd love to hear what you think after the recap. Mine is still going strong but it could need caps any minute.

 

[avionic]

Follow Marks recomendations to the "T" and you will have a super sounding and reliable piece of gear.

 

[samc777]

Follow Marks recomendations to the "T" and you will have a super sounding and reliable piece of gear.

I notice that MTF has chosen the nichicon KL series Low Leakage Current style of caps over the nichicon Audio Equipment series such as KA, KZ, FG KT etc.

I trust MTF totally and value his judgment but what does Mark know that we don't?

Dave

 

[markthefixer]

There are locations where leakage will manifest in noise, low level hiss.

And you are entirely welcome to try out your cap selections as you wish. I might end up duplicating it, testing it and adopting it, depending...

I started out not specifying or using KL caps (although most stuff didn't specify low noise or leakage), and did an a:b comparison in some units where the difference COUNTED, and had the difference slapped in my face(ears) like an old cold smelly fish.

KL caps go in where solid aluminum, tantalum, or NL specified caps. MOST of the solid aluminum and tantalum caps were done as a size and perhaps quality improvement measure - before their faults were recognized.

So now I don't try to figure out if a KL is needed in a particular position where one of those three came out of, because the cost differential is not enough to justify the time and risk of experimenting and the reverse engineering that position.

So what I do know (besides studying engineering, and doing this since the 70's?) boils down to just literally BTDT, got the T-shirt.

 

[larryderouin]

I did my 737 last year using MTF's list, and the difference was substantial. UPW and UKL's thru out. The only place I didn't use them was where he spec'ed the panasonic ECQ's and the Main Filter caps. It's run daily and hasn't hiccuped once. I actually like it better than my 939. Having a 434, 737, and 939 now and a 1010 a year ago, the 737 is probably the best bang for the buck out of the whole series. It's not a "blow the doors off the neighbor's house" unit but it does pretty much everything well for "in the house" listening. (I don't listen to loud stuff anymore either, since hitting 58).

Larry

 

[larryderouin]

To update from a year ago. The 737 continues to run circles around most everything else in the house that is SOLID STATE. The exception is the SX-939 (total wattage). Other than that the 737 is the clear winner here. The combination of UPW and UKL caps that MTF selects is a 100% winner. I can go no source connected on any source (except FM or AM), turn the volume up all the way and get just the slightest HINT of HISS from about 2 ft. ABSOLUTELY NO HUM! It's like the Model "T" in some ways, simple to operate, fairly simple to fix, comes in one color (2 if you count the 7730), and is universally popular, relatively cheap.

You could probably spend weeks researching caps(or longer), and spend tens of dollars more for them (boutique or Bling caps), but in the end, it quite possibly wouldn't sound any better than one with the UPW's and UKL's (with the odd ECQ in it), Fairchild transistors and ONSEMI Outputs in a STOCK replacement configuration.

I've done the same for my 424, 434, 939, and 780, and they've all improved but none so much as the 737 did. Like I said in my last post, it's quite possibly the best bang for the buck receiver that PIONEER ever developed and built, and 40 years later it's still knocking down doors, kicking ass, and taking names!!!

[Young46]

Thank you for the response and recommendation on the replacements! I have a question for my education...not being argumentative because I am not qualified to argue. What exactly do you look for in a replacement for an obsolete capacitor? For example on the three that are obsolete there seem to many others that appear to be suitable replacements such as Nichicon:

647-QYX1H224JTP 0.22 uF/50 VDC 5%
647-QYX1H334KTP 0.33 uF/50 VDC 10%
647-QYX1H474JTP 0.47 uF/50 VDC 5%

These are general film capacitors as are the Kemet and Wima. So what is the most important requirement to look for when searching for replacement caps?

Thanks again for your help and response!!

 

[zebulon1]

You can replace the obsolete caps in the list with the same value electrolytic's - as the originals. You might have to go a few sizes up in voltage but that's not an issue. The films are much better to use under 1.0uf than the smaller e-caps but it's harder to find the films in a lead spacing that will accommodate the PCB through holes. Mostly because Mouser and Digikey (At times) may only supply the 100 volt variety - which has too wide of a lead spacing. 63 volts is the largest value that can work (5mm spacing) for almost all the sets we see. Stability and reliability makes the films a better choice.

Most of the Pro's and Tech's in the know like the WIMA's. I tend to think they all are good enough to use. The WIMA's have a nice red'ish pink color which makes them more attractive, making the board look more populated.
We are relegated to use the stock that is used for the SMT boards. The films with the short leads.

Others might have a alternative.

 

[Young46]

Thanks for the response. Based on what you are saying would the Nichicon general film caps I named above be suitable replacements? What makes the WIMA a better choice given they all seem to have the same values? Again not arguing, just trying to learn and understand.

 

[zebulon1]

No difference. In fact your Nichicon's have long leads making them a good choice.
Both are Polyester film.

 

[Young46]

Thank you so much for your response and help. For the amateur restorer choosing the right capacitors can be a real nightmare. There seem to be so many that appear close in value but in some cases are not the best choice for the application. It is so great that there are good people on this site who are willing to offer their time and knowledge to those of us who are not professionals but still like to work on their own gear. Perhaps one day I will be able to help someone in need with their rebuild. I have a thread started and have been trying to get started on my SX-737 rebuild. With your help and help from others on this site I feel much better about going into it knowing that I have all the right parts I will need. Thanks again!

 

[buffdriver]

Just a note on the Nichicon films listed above. They are 7.5mm lead spacing and are over twice the price of the Wimas. I've never really liked anything as much as the Panasonic ECQ from the standpoint of size, but I've definitely settled on the Wima caps.

There are sometimes some big price variations in the different packaging configurations, so I compare otherwise identical spec'd parts for price. If you get them in variations that say "cut tape", they will have the long leads that zebulon1 recommended. Unlike some of the e-caps that I avoid in cut tape, the Wimas come loose from the tape without any problem.

 

[rcs16]

There is also newer cheaper films such as Kemet R82 series, 5mm lead spacing!! 842 to choose from
