Quasar Question (C1)

[PhiloB]

I messed up ordering.  I didn't order C1 - 47nF.  Can I substitute another value or is this a critical value.  I've socketed the PCB at that point so that I can hopefully test the circuit and replace the cap with the appropriate value when I get it. 
So, can I jump it with a wire just to test? I have an extra 100nF I could use.
Thanks for any help!

I dont know that circuit but i think 2 100nF in series should be close enough (50nF) for test purposes.

Thanks LeeVibe.  I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Moving C1 to 100nF is most likely going to be fine for this. It'll just let a bit more bass through. Depending on the input impedance, you may not even notice any difference.

22nf-100nf will work fine. Whatever you have in that range should work. You may find more bass content is necessary if you use a low value and may want to switch in a higher value, but if you find too much bass with a high value you should lower it.

Thanks guys

Had to run an errand earlier today and drove by RadioShack. So I figured, I'd step in and see what they had. Picked up 47 nF capacitor for two bucks! A rip off but beats paying shipping handling. Rocked it before I boxed it and the circuit works perfectly :-)

An RS by you still has parts in it? The last one I went into only had cell phones. It's cool you were able to get the right part though.

Glad it's working!!  It's hard to avoid the occasional RS shopping trip.  Ours has plenty of stuff, it's just usually everything but what I need.
