Good evening

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for your help.  Also, apologies for the very noob questions, this is the first time I have ventured into anything like building an amplifier.

I am most of the way through assembling the Zenkit 1 and am unclear on a couple of things regarding two of the capacitors.  I understand they can create quite a ruckus if wired incorrectly.  The capacitors are the ones specified in the updated parts list.  I believe I have the correct ones but they do seem awfully, awfully large!

1. Dayton Audio 20mfd 250v capacitors.  I believe these are polypropylene capacitors and therefor do not have a polarity?  But the silkscreen on the board below has a + at one end?  I’m hoping to clarify this.  

2.  The Mondorf capacitors seem to have 2 positive leads.  Should I solder both leads together?

Apologies again for the very basic questions.  I’ve been online searching for answers but to no avail.

I might add, it be best to get the right electrolytic capacitors. It will fit better and there would not be a loose hot leads in your build.

Hey Morph where did you get that new list of parts for the Zkit1? Is it Decware sanctioned? Never seen that updated parts lists.

When first looking at your post the thought ran across my mind to suggest bridging the positives together and see how well it starts up. Probably be OK being fed with SS rectification. Not sure though 🤔.  But was hesitant because it looks like you were trying to do with what was on hand by the condition of the 20uf caps.

A double pole switch could be utilized to bridge the caps together after the amp starts as an experiment to find the difference in sound and make use of the dual cap in an interesting way.

Never claimed to be an expert but do try to understand the hidden mysteries of electron boundaries.

Cheers!
