I saw some of you use sockets for caps, and now I need to test a circuit with few cap values but it isn't easy. I mean, tose cap leads aren't that hard and elastic like IC leads, so the just fall off. Btw, I'm using pin sockets like this
Thanks!

i socket the 51pF cap for my TS-808 clone and  while changing it to other caps i had a big tonal change to the sound.
100pf was best for my gear in this case.

just be a little more careful with the cap leads, breaking them off would be no fun. Maybe you should use pliers to put the leads in?

Now I realised that lead can be pushed deeper inside hole, no wonder it tends to fall out when I push it only 2mm inside. Thanks guys.
