Yeah me too. I thought they were called Muse. And they are KG(M) I see not KGL as I claimed.
This is interesting and informative for me. Recapping old gear I noticed that actually those 40 year old caps had higher capacitance than stated, sometimes still 50-100% higher. But generally not big filter caps, many 10000uF I replaced were 6500-9000uF, while smaller caps were above their specs, 1uF were 2.5uF sometimes, 2.2uF were 2.8uF, 330uF from power supply of 2270 were really around 400uF, most caps in my 2270 were 20% and more above stated markings. I think the only one below markings was the one 470uF/63V that was 390uF, so still within today's -/+20% allowance. New caps are usually around -10%.A change from 9000µF to 10000µF isn't going to cause any ill effects that I know of.
Many electrolytic capacitors in the 'old days' had a tolerance of +100/-20%, a 9000µF capacitor might have been as much as 18000µF, new.

Do you guys think they are better than GP 10000uF caps or is it just about the solder lugs? I am a bit put off by lifespan of those audio caps. I don't want them to go quickly. I measured them, they had excellent ESR (which surprised me for audio caps) but my ChemiCons are even better in this department and they are 80V on top of this , price is roughly the same as I remember.Well good thing I'm in no big hurry for them. They just emailed me a while ago to say they are on back order. Waiting to find out how long before they expect them. I'm fortunate in regards to their location because it's not far out of my way to work. I've placed an order there before and had a buddy I work with , who lives around the corner from them, pick up my order for me and bring it to work.
Pat, What is a good source for these Nichicon KGs? All the KGs at Mouser seem to be snap in. Also the only 10,000 mfd they have are 50V or less, so not much use in the 2270 (OK for the 2245).
Also, as I'm sure you know, there are 3 types of the KG with the type 3 being the best. Can't find those at Mouser either...
So a source recommendation would be appreciated.
