Can I use electrolytic caps in place of box film caps for this?

[laundryman]

I ordered the PCB and parts for an Aion FX Cygnus (Cornish G2) and didn't realize until I was halfway done building it that I ordered 2.2k uF electrolytic caps instead of 2.2k uF box film caps (C14 and C17 on this parts list).



Thanks.

Just mind the polarity and you should be fine. Do you need help with the schematic?

Thanks! I think I've got it, I went ahead and put sockets in the place of those caps just in case, so I can go ahead and pop them in. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause some kind of irreparable damage.

Yes you can + side would go to the collectors of the transistors most folks would keep electros out of the audio path as they're more prone to leakage causing unwanted noise

But the one I built had electros in those spots C16 and 24

Indeed. Cornish used film caps for a reason.
