Hey guys I need to order components to build the circuit below within the next two days at most. And I had a few questions about the circuit,
First off, I am trying to build this curcuit http://www.rcrowley.com/T12pwr.jpg mentioned in this thread, http://help.lockergnome.com/movies/p...pict73571.html . In addition I will be building this one as well. http://www.uneeda-audio.com/phantom/p48t122.jpg This will be used with a expensive vintage microphone, so i want the components to be as good as possible.
What Caps should I be using for this, Electrolytic, Tantalum, Ceramic, or Non-polarized?
What Resistors would be used in this application? Metal Film, Thin Film, Wirewound? And what kind of wattage should I look to get?
Any suggestions out of these?

Also, in the thread the guy who made the circuit mentions, "The value of R3 (2K5 ohms) is just a rough guess. If you make it too low, you waste battery capacity in uselessly heating up D1 and R3. Conversely, if you make it too small, the voltage may droop under heavy load." Would you stay with the same value?
