Anyone using 60uf total for the 1st Filter on express?
Thinking about using 2 x 30uf caps for a total of 60uf as the first filter on my Rocket pre/express power build. Anyone lower the cap values of these amps with good results? Thinking about going 60uf/30uf/16uf/16uf/16uf on this build. Thoughts?

Yes, it worked fine for an Express I just completed two months ago. I used a JJ 32+32 can cap for the first node with the intention of adding more capacitance if needed. It is the only Express type amp that I have played so I can't say how it is compared to proper Express.

I believe TAG member rj has done that before with no ill effects observed, and he has built a few Rockets.

with 20% cap tolerances you could end up with 40uf caps measuring close to 30uf.
I don't think you'd hear a big difference.

I,m using a 33uf cap on the screens that measure 36. A 47uf cap sounded too harsh too me. 60uf on the mains will work but reduce the fast response somewhat when you turn up the amp
