Seduction upgrades

James,

I don't see any pictures. (using Mozilla on my wife's laptop, I'll check my desktop)

Logged on using the desktop and Mozilla, no pictures.  Tried IE, no pictures.  Must be some setting.

Grainger,

I can see the photos.

James,

What huge caps you have!

Thanks for posting the pictures they're really helpful. Thats a really nice build and I see what you mean about the size. At least I know there is space for them

Ive got some 0.1uf FT3 600v  for coupling and some 0.47uf FT3 200v for output on the way

Hi berniebanks,

If you want just 0.47uf FT3 for output caps, maybe get 400V or 600V is better.
I remember the original 0.47uf Orange Drop caps that came with kit, are rated 400V or 600V or so...

I believe you will very happy with the Seduction.

Yep, FT3 caps are large indeed, but they are worth I can hear they make sounds different.
YMMV, try it to see if you like the sound.

thanks,
james

Thanks James

I couldn't find any higher voltage 0.47uf on eBay and I guess if I could get some they would be massive.
I wonder if the voltage matters too much ?

James,

The Seduction power supply will never exceed the 200V rating.  Doc was using a standard capacitor.  I have used 200V KK Teflons in my Seduction for years.

I don't think that 0.47uF are available in 400V or 600V.  The largest I have seen in 600V is 0.22uF.  Not positive about 400V.

You are right, Grainger
that should be ok. as pictures I also use 0.1uf 200V FT-2s in parallel with 0.47 silver-oil caps.
I just thought the larger V rated the safer.

Thanks,
james
