I've bought some cheap amp kit with 4.7uF "Elite" capacitor used for input coupling. And what I currently have is 2.2uF "Nichicon muse ES", if I recapped it, what would be happen with the sound characteristic?

Lower capacitance = less bass in general.
Depends what the input resistance is.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Thx for reply, btw which capacitor affects the sound quality the most (all electrolytic capacitor present is from "Elite")?
(which one should I had it recapped?)Attached FilesComment

Re: Is it okay to recapping the 4.7uF coupling capacitor with 2.2uF?
The datasheet for TDA2003 shows a typical application of the chip with a schematic on page 6 which kind of looks like yours:
On that circuit, they use a 2.2uF capacitor
Further in the datasheet it says that its purpose is Input DC decoupling and using a lower capacitor may cause noise at switch on or switch off. So I think you will be fine with a 4.7uF capacitor.
IMHO there's no point to bother with the quality of capacitors, because the audio chip is not capable of some super high quality sound, or quality enough that capacitors would matter.
After all, it barely does 8 watts of sound at 16v, with a 40Hz-15kHz range, just enough to cover what a MP3 melody has at 112-128kbps.
Be sure to use a good heatsink with this chip.Last edited by mariushm; 05-23-2012, 11:58 AM.Comment

Re: Is it okay to recapping the 4.7uF coupling capacitor with 2.2uF?
If this is in a sealed or at least hot running enclosure, replacing the 220uF cap C4 might at some point might be helpful, with a major Japanese brand rated for 105C temperature.
Otherwise I would think about using a 2.2uF film capacitor for the audio input coupling cap C2 and not care much if the low end rolls off a little higher since this is a fairly current limited amp.
However, this isn't a very valuable amp as mariushm pointed out, it may not be worth the trouble to do more than have it working properly and you can save the more valuable components for use on another amp.Comment

Also I have used Elite capacitors before (EB series to be exact) and I'm pretty satisfied with their endurance. First time I used them was on a 7300 GT about year and half ago and it's still running without any signs of failure. Although chinese, Elite capacitors are a lot better then most of the other chinese brands. My LCD monitor asus 19" has Elites and its nearly 5 years old, no problems so far also.Guns don't solve problems. I'll take 12

I hate to break your bubble but Elites are common failures in Dell and HP monitors. You could just be lucky.

Re: Is it okay to recapping the 4.7uF coupling capacitor with 2.2uF?
Hey, I didn't say they were top of the line capacitors, I'm just saying they are much better then other chinese brands, you know... the ones that are failing within a month.
Also since the problem with elites mostly occurs in Dell and HP monitors maybe it is due to poor heat management? We've seen rubycons fail under intense heat. Yeah you guys hate chinese caps but not all of them can be that bad, not excellent but good enough...

"If I wanted to replace an old 15uF/400V capacitor with a new one,
I have a new 15uF/400V and a new 22uF/400V capacitor. When measured, the new 15uF reads only 13uF, and the 22uF reads only 20uF. Can I use the 22uF capacitor?" -
Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.
I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.
I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
(yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)
I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never... -
I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor... -
I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm
And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,... -
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.
Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...
