What capacitors should I use to make the Grado RA1 replica? How do I know what voltage caps to use? I found 5uF ranging from 20v to 250v. What should I use? What voltage should I use for the 112nF caps?

Thanks,
Chad

Beleive it or not when it comes to film caps you want the highest voltage rating you can afford/fit , they just sound better in the higher voltages.

Use the 250 or even 400 volt solen fastcap .

The 112nf caps appear to be tantalums . 25 volts would be fine . But if you use say an orange drop here go for the high voltage ones . Again for the sound
