I am looking at ordering a K-502 as a first tube amp project.
In the spirit of building the best amp that I can (within a limited budget) I have been looking at the various suggestions of upgraded capacitors, addition of snubber capacitors, etc.
The problem is that I am not familiar with the various types of capacitors that I might want to use (I understand that there are a number of different options with type of capacitors, brands/manufacturers, etc). As an example of this, I see 'Orange Drop' capacitors listed on the AES website, but I don't know which series of capacitor I want?
As well, I am not sure of the values that I need/want as I have not yet ordered the K-502, and do not have a schematic yet.
Can anyone suggest specific capacitors from AES or digikey that can be used as economical upgrades?
I would like to get everything from 1 or 2 suppliers if possible, and it looks like I will be ordering a few CL90's, uF4007 rectifiers, and a filtered IEC socket from digikey as I do not see these items on the AES website.
Thank you,
