M Samra- Question on recapping Fisher 100 monos




Mike- I just recently obtained a pair of Fisher 100 monos in very good condition, one amp just needed a single broken 68 ohm resistor replaced. The power supply caps reformed really well as both amps have absolutely no hum at all. I was considering replacing the original "IMP" .02/400 volt coupling caps ( between 12at7 & 12au7) and the .047/400volt caps (between 12au7 & EL-37) with the same value K40Y9. Question is, should I stick with the exact same value or would it make sense to bump it up a bit with say .1/400volt and .15/400 volt (or even .22/400 volt)?Also, what are your thoughts on the K40P-2 caps that Oleg is now selling.Same question with the K42Y-2 caps, any good? Thanks for your time, Paul
