I am almost done with the parts list of capacitors and output transistors. For the capacitors lower than 3 uf, can I use Wima MKS2's? I have 4 1/80 on the power amp board and some 1/50 & 2.2/25 on the power amp board.
The question of MKS suitability could trigger a huge debate, so I will get it first, it's generally frowned upon for signal path situations.
The 1/80 caps look like for noise suppression (please correct me) so anything can be used. I will probably use whatever is handy
like Silmic II, Nichi KW, FG,,,, MKS should be OK
The 1/50, 2.2/25 on the big power supply board? The 2.2/25 (C409,10) is bipolar so UEP or ES
For 1/50 the UPW is fine.
Also, in regards to the Bi-polar capacitors; the only ones I could find from Nichicon are the "ES" series. Is this correct? I find the data sheets on them, but mouser doesn't carry them.
Nichicon ES is their 85C bipolar
Nichicon UEP is their 105C bipolar
Both would be OK, both stocked by Mouser, most people would suggest the UEP
