Another capacitor question

[TonyScarlett]

Sorry in advance if I am being a bit thick but could someone please identify what type of capacitors these are at positions C16 & C22 on my Arcam Delta 60. The values according to the circuit diagram are 10pF. The ones at C22 are piggy backed, Could they be replaced by a single 20pF capacitor?
Thanks

Those are radial polystyrene: the best-quality thing possible.

Leave them alone!

Those are axial polystyrene: the best-quality thing possible.

Leave them alone!

Thanks, exactly what I was hoping to hear.

sorry - 'radial'.

(You'll find no better part tbh)

Yep ! Those polystyrene last for ever and offer the best sound you can find.

Axial; wires from opposite ends. You can just see the top wire.

It horrifies me that so many believe it may be worthwhile replacing such things!

I never said I "was" going to replace it, I wanted to know what type it was because some types of capacitor do drift out of spec & I wanted to know if that was the case here. Now that I know that it isn't I will leave well alone.
