Hi. I'm in the process of designing the PCB for a 323 style board. Component wise, I have everything covered except for the 2 polarised caps, C4 in the feedback network and C7 at the output, (I have no need for C1). I have no problem with the original values but wondered what I could use in terms of makes.
Perhaps unfashionably I am not an overly fussy builder with components, I find it hard to agree on the worth of changing the manufacturer of one individual resistor or transistor to make phenomenal changes in sound rendition. That doesn't mean that I don't accept there are differences to be had, but with no real experience of comparisons between makes to draw on I have no reference point to base a choice on.
That is not meant to poke at attitudes here in the least, just to give you a background as to what I really need to be told. I am not likely to go to a component source high in the Japanese mountains where the components are made with mountain spring water amongst the specially clean air in the 3 months of the year where the temperature is right and only sold from the backpack of a wandering monk. Some would go to that extent to gain an improvement and I can respect that, but not me!
I just make sure to use components of reliable quality all round and improve to the esoteric or exotic where I can personally hear it has a genuine bearing. I think the ability to source these components easily and at a reasonable price as I need them is more important to me than a quest to search out the Holy Grail of capacitors in each place.
Can anyone suggest reasonable quality types for these 2 items which are easily accessible here and now?
