Mike, I have a CL90 I could put on. Honestly, I question if it really needs those big caps. Probably 47s would be fine. It's what came with the kit and they seem to work pretty good. I did reverse my level control. Ugh! Awful! You just TRY an desolder a 6 pin something without destroying it. I ended up cutting one of the traces and soldering direct to the control pins to make this thing work right. I have it set up so you can connect a stereo something or other and have it sound good. You can run it either way. Mono or stereo (mono).

Make SURE you solder that control on the side of that little PC board that has the square, otherwise - welcome to my world.
