My Trinity OSD Kit Build

Hi. nice pics. What values on the filter caps. I have two 100uF Spragues, and wonder if they are usable, the layout calls for 330uF?

It's generally better to try and increase the filtering slightly rather than lower it. It will likely work but not be true to the stiff clean power supplies dumble tended to build. If you have 100's you could put 3 in parallel to get 330uF, but I think the schematic calls for two 330 in series to increase voltage rating, but decreases the capacitance. also which layout are you referring to? The schematic on the first page of this thread calls out for 100uF? Or are you talking about something later in the thread?

I just built an ODS #124 and it has 2x300uF at 350V because the max voltage was about 450 on the amp, I happened to find a 150uF at 500V that was within the tolerance ranges and I used that, got the 150uF as needed and over the voltage max. Those are the most critical points to try and meet, Often you can't say find a 50uF and a 47uF is going to be fine. 330 vs 100 is pretty significant.
