Post by bogart »

ok...here is what I have found for caps for the m100's and m50s...they oem is 2200uf 16volt....7.5mm lead

can't find anything with that small of uf rating...so I have read that ceceil has gone as high as 4800uf as long as they fit...so I found these at digikey...part number 493 1543 nd. 5600 uf and they are 31.5 high...nichicon

for the big ones I found 565 2899 no which are chemicon 10000uf 50v 35mm * 40mm

are the first too big...really can't find anything smaller at digikey

There's essentially no such thing as too much capacitance on the input and rail caps. The only important part is that you get the size, voltage and temperature rating of them right.

I believe those are the exact Nichicons we use in the MS amps, so they are probably the same.
