Title: AC30 Caps
Post by: Voxbox on February 21, 2011, 06:28:15 am

Hi

does anyone know of good replacements for the big, and now unavailable WIMA 0.15uF/630V PI anode coupling caps?

I'm thinking of tonally similar types for them and the other smaller Hunts 500pF anode couplers.

Thanks
Cheers

SoZos Vintage are OK, & will do a good job.

Thanks Tiny Daddy, but no they are deffo not the same unfortunately. The ones I have in mind are tubular and gold in colour.

Archaos, I'll have a look at the Sozos though. I tried the Orange drops but they may be a bit on the bright side - need to do an A/B test with the original Wimas to be sure.
An More Light to you too!  :smiley:
