H-1916 where to source caps and what type (recommendations?)
#4

It all depends what you want to spend. I am for supporting the specialty sites if they have what you need. The Panasonic 667-ECQ film capacitors are good and low cost from Mouser. Polypropylene's sound more laid back and smoother/compressed against Polyester's from my experience, some might not notice it, some like it, some don't. The main coupling signal caps matter the most, changing these can alter the character of sound. The Kamaya carbon composition resistors are tempting, but found they are out of tolerance often, they work and are cheap though, it might not matter in this case. Try to obtain similar to what is in it to retain the sound. Xicon carbons are okay and seem to be in spec more. It is a daunting task. Can't go wrong with Nichicon lytics, others take a chance.
