[sdiy] tube phono

[MAGUS SHIP]

yeah I noticed that the mutiple cap i had in the circuit analysis book had
one lower voltage rating but this one all 3 are the same...No way I'm gonna
use a weird old surplus cap in an application with this high of a voltage
rating.  I'll get three new electrolytics and post an update soon!
thanks
