So I am collecting capacitors to recap about 5 different radio's. I have looked at Gold Fingers modifications for HiFi for more than one chassis. He sure does seem to like tantalums. In at least two radio's of mine he recommends a 16V Tantalum at 1uf to 2uf but in each case the OEM used 50V electrolytic in the .22uf and 1uf range.
I was always taught to devalue tantalum because they fail at .1 to 1% the closer to the specified rating they are run at. That assumes you do not get them hot...
Why replace electrolytics with tantalum in Hi-Fi Mod?
