Whoops, I don't have a 39n cap. Would a 33nf or 47nf be ok? One over the other?
Well I went with the 33nf cap after seeing some old threads where some folks subbed a 33n for a 39n in the aquababy.
Did it work out? It usually depends on what the cap is doing in the circuit. If its part of a filter, it will work, but might sound different.
I didn't finish wiring it up yet. Hoping it works cuz it might be hard to get the brick out to swap it out.
Can you post a link to the schematic? Do you measure the capacitance of you caps?
I did not measure the capacitance of the cap. Here's the schematic

I think you're going to be fine, but I'm still a dummy ;D, maybe somebody smarter can chime in. Your cap is not in the audio path. If you aren't measuring caps, they are +- 10-20% so 33 is 18% of 39, OK. I do measure caps, and I like things in the audio path to be +- 5%, everything else I like +-10%, except power stuff where +-20% is fine.
Thanks. I like that idea of using tighter tolerances in the audio path. Do you keep notes or write that stuff down when you're building?
If there's room you could always parallel a cap in the 5n-7n range with the 33n, if you have something on hand.
