Filter caps max uf for ODS

Post by gary sanders »

Is 40uf too much for the 124 ODS? I got a steal deal on a handful of Atoms and was going to use them in my new build if they'll work.

should be fine as long as you dont get into crazy high values. The more filtering the more headroom, and tighter bass you'll have. It should reduce the ripple as well.
I think i have 40uf or 50 in my amp
It's true i've lost my marbles and i cant remember where i put them

Are you talking V1 & V2 and the PI?

I have a bunch of blue Sprague Atoms I would love to get rid of, they are way too big for what I'm doing. These days those are just small modern caps inside a '50s dimension can, with no cap cooling thru the can which is not good for long life. If you want 'em I have some.
