Audio Note caps?

August 17, 2024

Marc,

Thanks for the informative article on the sonic characteristics of different capacitors. I also have an Audible Illusions 2D, and I am interested in knowing the values of the four Audio Note capacitors you used. This information would be much appreciated.

I'm glad the article was useful. I used Audio Note KAISEI caps, 470uF 25V, to replace the stock caps of the same values in the Modulus 2D preamps; I've added this info to my article. Ken Stevens recommended Black Gates, but I couldn't find eight of that value. (My technician also warned against replacing old caps with more old caps.) For my preamps, those cathode bypass caps were covered in black shrink wrap, so it was impossible to see the values without removing that first. -Marc Mickelson
