Capacitor ID

[tenthumbs]

Evening,

Newbie here.

Recently purchased a set of ESS AMT 1a speakers and upon inspection, noticed one of the caps was broken. Searching for a replacement but cant seem to find one matching the description on the cap.

It shows;

44uf-75V

its just slightly larger than a AA battery. Checked Parts Express but they don't list any such animal.

Any help???

Thanks!

Hi,

You can parallel a Parts Express 027-260 and a 027-226 or just get one PA4300 from Solen.ca (43uF is close enough.. 2.5% difference)

Cheers!

You might want to try Madisound http://www.madisound.com/

I see the only thing close to 44 is a 45 in the Solen section.
As long as the voltage rating is the same or higher than the
original, you'll be ok. A purist would change the caps in both
speakers so they stay matcher.

thanks for the replies....was looking at a 47uf - above the rating and close enough to not a make huge difference.

Agreed, should change both....

I have a set of ESS A1Bs. I saw someone suggested to replace the pots with fixed resistors. I replaced the capacitors with cheap Xicons for some reason. Ima have to go back and replace all the capacitos as the right speaker is louder than the left.

Replace the crossover caps in both speakers too, or their characteristics will differ and you'll end up with two different speakers.

Cheers!

Does anyone where I can find the correct values for the capacitors for a AMT1B or AMT1C? I have 2 10uf and 2 33uf and a single 4ohm 10 watt resistor.
