Cool, thank you!

Wow, cool, thank you. I have always really liked them.

And yes, I know this is an old (now not quite dead) thread!

Can somebody help me identify these cans? I have had them for many years, having inherited them from one of my best friends many years ago. I replaced the foam on them at least 10 years ago, need to replace them but can't remember what model they are nor can I read the model number. Advise on...

I have an SIT in mine, what do you recommend?

Me neither, the boards seem to be quite different in this area from 1st to 2nd gen.

Holy crap, b0bb - you are going to TOWN on this bitch!

Thank you b0bb, is this the correct device https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nichicon/RNE1C821MDN1PH/?qs=Ajmft%252BTTukFux1QgXy4s%2Fw%3D%3D to go in the specified location (and numerous other locations throughout the board where LKS went to ceramics in lieu of electrolytics on my board...

Ok, so I am collecting parts to do these mods, and I have the DS90LV032A, but it looks like there's an smd cap in there. I haven't pulled the amanero assy back out, so I don't know if there's any provisions for an electrolytic under there. Is this what yours looked like pre-mod? If so, what cap...

How does the Octo 8 sound/perform? Stereophile/Atkinson had very good things to say about it. I am not quite done with my 004 yet, but am curious about the 005 and the Octo.

Thanks b0bb - sounds like bottom line is use the mfg max values (or min, whichever critical to your parameter/application) unless you want to do a lot of testing...

b0bb, I have a question for you related to the data in this post... the 10H100 table lists only the maxima for each parameter while the 8065 table includes a min, max and typ (ok, so there are no values in the min cells, so scratch the min). I guess you have to default to the worst case (max)...

I measured the three spare 0.1mF caps (identical to the installed ones) and they all read 2.4-ohm esr out of circuit. I could put in a 1mF but the data sheet clearly specifies 0.1mF closest to Vdd pin and 1.0mF within 1-2 inches from the Vdd pin. I assumed that the 004 would have 1mF decoupling...

Thank you very much b0bb. It is indeed an order of magnitude lower @ 100KHz (at lease according to spec - should be about 0.10-ohm at 100KHz, 0.01-ohm @ 1MHz - see data below). If I can change the frequency on my el-cheapo ESR meter, I don't know how... I selected these caps specifically...

Ok, old XO removed, socket installed and Si TCXO populated. I decided to try it with the 0.1mF cap on the bottom and once broken in, I will change it oout and see if there is a discernible difference. As of now, it is up and running and breaking in.
