Hi,
If I'm a newbie on the forum, I use a PAS2 with great pleasure for around 10 years in input of different DIY tube amplifier. Actually a SE VT-52 triode amplifier.
This forum was very helpfull for me to maintain in order this equipment.
When I bought the PAS2, the caps on the PC5 and PC6 has been replaced by a previous owner with new Kimber caps and the selenium rectifier changed for diodes. A new transformer ( 230V) replace the US one.
Now I want to replace the original quad cap which is working well, but it's now more than 40 years old...
My question is about the right place of the four sections ( original 30/20/20/10 µF)?
According to their data-sheets the 12X4 needs a maximum input 10µF cap, I suppose 10µF is the first ( square ref)the place of the three others non critic ??
But what about the new one's available ( either 20/20/20/20 or 40/20/20/20)
I thank you for help.
Regards
