I am getting ready to start my recap on my Citation 19 and I was hoping to get some opinions on a few capacitor selections. I still need to select the main power caps, the main output caps on the Assay Board, and a replacement for these 1000uF 25V axials in the under carriage of the chassis. 1st what purpose do these axials serve? Are they only supplying the LEDs and how important are they? 2nd, I am torn between getting some Teflon V-Caps or some Mundorf Silver Oils for the Assay Board. I have never heard the V-caps but I have heard the sweet treble extension and sparkle of the silver oils. The rated capacitance for this cap is .1uF and if I went with the silver oils I could afford to double the capacitance here and hope to catch some extra air & open space in the presentation of the music. 3rd, as far as the main power caps go I can fit either the 10,000uF / 80V, KG Series, Super Through or 15,000uF / 100V, KG Series, Gold Tune. The limiting factor here are the 63x80 mm dimensions. I have been told that the power supply can handle as much as 22k but I can't find any that will fit. Also I have been told that with uping the capacitance I may have to upgrade the bridge rectifier but I do not even know where that is on the board or what to select to replace it. All opinions are welcome. So far my recap projects have been cake next to what I anticipate with this one.
