Delta 1010 Recapping Mods

[mtl777]

Hi:

I want to modify my Delta 1010 soundcard and one of the mods I would like to do is changing out the caps to better brands and/or better values. For this I would like to ask for your help in suggesting replacement values, especially for the coupling caps -- values that you think would be ideal and would get me quicker to the sweet spot than if I had to do a long, tedious trial-and-error process.

Here's a "component placement diagram" of one section of the A/D board of my 1010:

The original cap values are shown. I would particularly like to know what value you would suggest for the coupling caps C71, C67, and C61 (these are currently 47uF) and the coupling cap C21 (this is currently 10uF).

Now here's a "component placement diagram" of one section of the D/A board of my 1010:

In particular I would like to know what value you would recommend for the coupling caps C37 and C38 (these are currently 47uF) and the coupling caps C41 and C35 (these are currently 10uF).

These are the most important ones for me, but please feel free to suggest replacement values for any caps other than these that you think would benefit from a change of value. On the other hand, if you think that the values as originally designed by the manufacturer are already good and need not be changed, please also let me know.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hi
Capacitors are really cheap.
Buy some and swap them out, and report back on what you have learned.
