    Capacitor Change in A21

    I recently understood that Parasound replaced the 80v 25000mf Elna caps with 100v 22000mf Rubicons. John Curl mentioned on another thread that he was not involved with this change. He said that he did not compare the before and after capacitor change.
    Since this is a Parasound dedicated forum, I wanted to know if any members here have experienced these changes? I should mention, I luv my A21 and it would not make much of a difference about something I do not know :W

      Probably not a change for the better. The reason is probably a shortage of the Elna capacitors at build time. No reason for Parasound to hold production if there's a resonable substitute out there. (Do we even know if the change to Rubicon is permanent?)

        Parasound vs Musical Fidelity
        by HDBLU
        Hi All
        One little Question

        Would the Parasound be above Musical Fidelity in brand names, I had the Musical Fidelity A5-5 but had a lot of trouble with it so I changed it for a Rotel RB1080 it was a lot cheaper so that why I did it.

        The A5-5 sound quit a bit better...
