Re: NAD C272/C372 filter cap failures

Hi Guys.

Many thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

LLLlllou : the current caps are 4 pin, so they should be perfect, thanks very much for the link. I will have a word with my "electronic guru" this side and see what he thinks.

Will post some pics of the upgrade and let you guys know what we decide to go with.

Re: NAD C272/C372 filter cap failures

My apologies "retiredcaps"

The NAD 372 main caps are 10000uf, 80v, 105 deg, 35mm dia.

I have found some Panasonic caps to replace ad they are 105 deg's. But was wondering if there where better caps i could use. Say Nichicon?...

Re: NAD C272/C372 filter cap failures

My NAD 372 has just blown one of its caps as described above..

The amp is well ventilated but i think it was a power surge that made it commit suicide.

Non the less, please could others share if they have had the same problem and what caps they have chosen to replace the originals. I am currently looking @ Panasonic for the main caps and while I am at it will replace all the caps for the power stage and then move on to replacing "all" the caps on the board at a later date..

Any advise in...
