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.
