Re: Moog Prodigy: do capacitors model/type affect the sound?

2016-08-01 by marcmarc@...

Yes, they are 10UF. I just recapped a Prodigy and a Minimoog so I mixed up info.
If you use for the 2x 470/35 in the PSU 2x 470/63 youre ESR gets already lower.
For the decoupling ones 10/25 Tanalum.
Using special low ERS in the audio lines is nopt reccomended since you like to have it as original as possible and they do affect the sound in there phase shifting differently than with normal standard caps.
