There is no Supergreen Meta yet, and I have parts questions.
Attempting to locate my first batch of parts without part #'s, I headed over to Mouser and gave it a go. Well, I didn't get very far at all. The parts list at
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/audio/supergreen.html
is
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/audio/supergreen/supergreen_instructions.pdf
starting with the WIMA Caps. I feel I have an understanding of WIMA caps now (maybe not?). Basically you have a sub-category for the caps such as FKP2, MKP2, etc...
ours are all MKP4's as stated on the BOM. The code is as follows: type/capacitance/voltage/lead spacing
Mouser doesn't have the 2n2 or 3n3 in a MKP4. So scratch those
the 10 micro farad comes in an MKP4, but has a lead spacing of 10, instead of 37.5mm. I could bend the leads, sure but the tolerance is +- 10%. No dice here either.
Lastly, the 100n comes in a 5mm lead spacing and is non-stock anyway.
So, I bequeath you o fellows of mine. Am I reading this spec correctly? If so, where can I locate these caps in the USA (preferably).
From my understanding the 4 WIMA caps should read:
-MKP4/0.0022/63/7.5
-MKP4/0.0033/63/7.5
-MKP4/10/63/37.5
-MKP4/0.1/63/7.5
with the 63 Volts being the least important parameter.
As I work my way through this list, I will keep track of part numbers and vendors so I can share this document with everyone when I'm finished.
Thank you and goodnight.
