can i replace on amp a mkp capacitor with mkt the same mf and voltage?

Re: mkp to mkt
"mkp" is metallized polypropylene, while "mkt" is metallized polyester. The two dielectric materials do have differing properties, so interchangeability depends on whether the circuit or the amplifier needs polypropylene capacitors or not. My inclination would be to replace with whatever was used originally, but whether that is practical for you there in Greece, I do not know.
My guess is that if you replaced mkp with mkt the sound quality of the amp might be affected. Whether enough to be audible even to someone with "golden ears", I do not know.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Simple answer is no don't do it, you can but not recommended.Comment

When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.
Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.

I've just been repairing some (very) old speakers with a loud hum that occurred as soon as you powered them on regardless if any actual audio is played through them. I work in a School so it's 99% likey that the Teachers have hardly ever turned the power off on them for well over 10+ years.
As you can see the top large capacitor on the right has a bulge on the top so defincately needs replacing. As the one next to it is exactly the same capacity and voltage I planned to replace them both.
What is your advice/opinion on whether or not on old(er)... -
I have purchased an 100-240v AC/5v 2a DC adaptor from aliexpress,and a month ago It smelled burning when I plugin it powerstrip.
Since then, This AC/DC adaptor have been out of order.
But A few days ago,I replace 0.5 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor(1ohm) in this adapter.
After replacing resistor,It succeed to recharge all of android phone.And When I measure voltage on the two pins of USB port,It shows 5.5v
Is it okay to replace 1/2 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor in AC/DC adapter?
And Is there any possibility that it will suddenly explode as well as to be out... -
I have a Samsung U32D970 monitor from 2015 I pulled out of the bad hardware pile that turned on and then turned itself back off after a few minutes of use and refused to turn back on. The PSU has part number BN44-00786A, and I found a couple posts about one that had blown with damage to the MOSFETs and PWM controller - but nothing about intermittent failures. I started a new thread and said that I would refresh the solder joints on the board to see if it was just a bad connection and possibly replace the PWM and PFC ICs. I then asked what my next course of action would be after those steps. I... -
hello,
i have a hp display 2311 to repair, totaly dead
on the board, il have 2 capacitor 470µf that are dead and the 3.3v regulator : ax6630-33
i have no such regulator, can i replace this one with a mic5209-33 (3.3v outpout regulator too) ?
thank you
