Even though they are rated that. Heat will shorten their life. I have a subwoofer where in the amp part the capacitor's life was ended by the heat of a nearby resistor. Causing the relay to chatter making the amp unusable...(This was a design flaw because hundreds of people had this problem with this model) Luckily the internet had the solution.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
So I'm not worried. Just thought it worth mentioning. It will probably work forever without the shield anyway so you are correct that no-one should worry about it.

Where did you get the capacitor shield?
What resistors have you used? They look fantastic against the black background...
PS, you're making a really nice quality build there, so chuck those terminal blocks away on the signal connections and solder them straight into the PCB.
Makes a difference.
Love the box idea BTW
Yes, i did think that initially but they also look quite large?
I think you are right....look cool anyway

Unless Alan says otherwise I believe they pretty much determine the default loading for MM.
Yes. The very same ones. PRP from hifi collective.
And i do use them because they are red as it really brings something to the design.
They also work well.
Thanks oliver. I usually make my own. Lockdown made it harder and had a brain wave.
Box is well made for the price.
It can always be improved with brass fittings
Ill solder the leads in.
