Digikey caps sold out...

[Eric D]

For those of you who are planning to put 5,600uF caps in your amps, look at these...

They are 35.5mm height and will fit in some amps, but not all, you have to check yourself to make sure.

These are the next shorter model...

Those are just a bit shorter than the stock ones, and will easily fit.

will the 4700uf vs the 5600uf make a big difference?

Since the factory ones are only 2,200uF, and there is no difference between them and the 5,600uF ones (performance wise), I really doubt 4,700uF will be "bad". It is still over twice what the amps come with. The only real drawback is being shorter they may look "funny".

Probably not though. Many MSTA amps came with really short caps, as PG still went with 2,200uF, but today 2,200uF caps in 18mm diameter are half the height they used to be.

This is a photo of a stock MS1000TA, and they don't really look all that bad IMO.

Wow! Now these are funny looking...

Those are what you would want to use if you wish to keep the amp original spec.

These would work just fine...

They are the same size as original, but offer lower temp rating (-55, instead of -40) for you guys running your amps in the arctic circle. The only drawback is instead of being rated for 10000 hours, these are only 8000 hours, which is not a huge difference.

My personal gripe with these is they are a dark brown instead of black, but since a lot of PG amps have dark brown caps anyway, this is not all that big of an issue.

ok thx i never paid attention to the stock values.
