Hi, Is it a good idea to change C111/C211 in D-555 to 220uF or higher value from original 100 uF? The sound quality can be improved by this modification ? And what about C401? Is it neccessary to change value? Thank you!
Yes, definitely upgrade to 220uF during recap. Regarding C401: 100uF/6V upgrade to 100uF/10V SMD. Ideally, C401 should be 220uF/10V but it won't fit. Here is my own D-555 after recap:
Thank you for the info. I have bought 330uF for C111 and C211, Nichicon KA series. And Elna 220uF/10V for C401. I have to try best to put them into that small space.
I restored discman for my 1st time, my D-Z555. 2 330uf/6.3v and 1 100uf/6.3v for C111 C211 C401. I have to hide those big capacitors in small space. Also I take away center gear and lubricated it and them put it back again. Before I did those all, I read these posts for my reference. Thanks those people! https://www.stereo2go.com/forums/threads/sony-d-250-middle-gear-lubrication-replacement.7236/ https://www.stereo2go.com/forums/threads/just-found-a-sony-d-555.3494/
