Post by andrew »

Hello all, I'm out of 1uf film caps so can I use a 1uf electrolytic cap on the presence control? Thanks!

Won't hurt a think if that's what you mean. When you place your order, try a Tantalum 1uf too.

The real deals used most often eletrolytics and less often tant's for the 1u0 presence controls.

The 0u1 PI used a small poly film cap.

I belive HADumble is known for using surplus parts, so I guess you should use your ears and the tips on these pages (which is a circular statement)[/img]
