kliche C12 2.2nF

Hello! Im trying to build the kliche mini and realized i don't have a 2.2nF film cap. Can i use a SIP socket for now and put in 3.9nf or 1.5nf?

Absolutely. If you have multiples of the 1.5nf and if you have a DMM that can measure capacitance, you will likely find one that edges towards 2nf. more than likely you won’t hear a huge difference

Thanks!! SIP sockets should be fine correct?

Yup. They are pretty common fare for when you want to play around with different values. Just use a sharp blade (xacto or a razor blade) to cut off however many you need to span the space. You can do singles, or cut 4 and either clip the legs off the middle 2 or find a way to push the middle 2 sockets out.

You can put two 3.9s together parallel, two 1.5a together parallel, and then put those two together in series and you’ll have about 2.2nF. And no room to put that monstrosity, lol.
