JVC 1050 CD Player Question (Mr. Risch Perhaps?)

Posted by 1973shovel (A) on June 21, 2007 at 15:51:06

I've owned my JVC 1050 since 1992. I've done a few op-amp swaps to it, but have the urge to experiment again.

I figured I'd start with coupling caps, and here is my question. In the Feb. '92 Stereophile review of the JVC, Corey Greenberg writes: "The outputs are AC-coupled with extremely larged-sized 47 uF/50V electrolytic caps."

But in a 1999 post on this very board, Jon Risch wrote: "the stock coupling caps are decent PP's"

Of course I didn't read Jon's post until today, right after I finished soldering in some Black Gate N's (non-polar) in place of the electrolytics I always assumed were the coupling caps because of the Stereophile article.

I'm wondering if anyone remembers which caps they may have replaced, or might have a JVC 1050 schematic they could refer to and post which caps are in fact the coupling caps. I could tear it apart again and trace back from the RCA output jacks, but would rather do that as a last resort.

Thanks in advance!
