The only real difrence I've seen since the 47uf slows the switching time the supplies are usually quieter if you can hear the higher frequencys, most kits include the 47uf not a 39uf Peter Oliver Tucson Radio TV From: "Garbage" <damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [TechAssist] Re: CTC169, C4108, 39uf or 47uf? Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 08:30:32 -0500 Jim , I've used WHATEVER is on hand.....Capacitive reactance on 47 or 39 is 0.09 and 0.07 ohms, it's not going to change the switching/amplifying on the output, although I've always leaned towards the 47uf/100v....that's only because I want that transistor to operate as a switch. 47uf always been easier to get from suppliers.
