Dreamtime capacitors

I'm in the process of attaching all the wires to my Dreamtime builds and just ordered the last capacitor that I needed. However, I've noticed that C2 and C8 are supposed to be MLCC caps. I've used normal ceramic disc caps for them (I clearly didn't read the build doc properly!), will they be ok or should I get some MLCC caps ordered and replace them?

Not a big deal, they'll function the same. MLCC's (particularly C0G/NP0 type) are a bit more stable and have tighter tolerances, but in our applications its not really a massive issue to worry about.

Ah thanks for that. I assume it's safe to keep the current ones in and see how they go? One of the local companies I use, they have to be ordered in quantanties of 10 (only need 3 of each) and it's going to cost £6 in postage, unless I stick on some enclosures that I really don't need more of at the moment.

The 100N one I had to order some caps for that as I seemed to have missed them off of the parts list ordering, so at least I've got the correct ones there!
