conrad-johnson pv5 preamp
conrad-johnson pv5 preamp
I have replaced the caps in a 23 year old pv5 preamp with new cj caps
except in 2 cases. In one instance I used an auricap brand and I am
unsure of what to use in the 2nd case.
My concern? The remaining caps to be replaced couple the signal to the
loudspeaker. A 2.2uf 250v cap is shunted by a .15uf 200v cap. Conrad-
johnson does not have replaceements. Auricap has a 2.2uf 400v and a .
15uf 450v. If they are able to physically fit in the space available,
what are the negative consequences of using these much higher voltage
capability caps than in the original design?

None whatsoever with plastic caps.

BTW, Of course I meant couple the signal to the output jack. Sorry!
