Interesting the life rating on those Muze capacitor is only 1000 hours. If those capacitors actually failed at the rating, our components certainly wouldn't last very long.
Yes mine is the multi-voltage unit. This unit also had questionable looking power supply 22000uF/80v caps that I used for a while, but then replaced. Here's are three pictures of the worst ones before cleaning the muck off. The first two pictures may be the same capacitor.

Yodathedog,
My MX-2 pairs great with my CX-2000 (CX-1000 is the same electronically but in black) Stereo Control Amplifier. Also, both CX-2000 and CX-1000 can be remote controlled, I use a RCX VQ08640 with mine.
Yes, I still have all four of them. They are about twice the size of the new ones I put in there. I think the B-2x sounds very good, but IMHO the MX-2 sounds better for my use case.
rattalpha,
All four of the ELNA capacitors from my B-2x test as dead shorts. My sons Peak LCR meter auto test them as inductors. When I repaired the amplifier several transistors in both channels had failed.
I think there is enough room to use 3 of these in parallel https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nichicon/UFW0J333MRD/1964092 each 100,000µf @ 6.3 vdc with the added benifit of ~12A ripple current capability vs 8.31A for the ones I used.
