I have a Pioneer A-777 and a A-77X that I want to refresh. I'm thinking of starting with the A-77X. I had some problems with the LEDs and the power board which I've fixed (bad capacitor and a blown power lamp).
The EQ and power amp boards use Nichicon Muse capacitors, they're polarised, green and look to say "Nichicon KS". I couldn't find any modern series of Muse capacitors. Which of the new series would be the best choice? Fine Gold FG, KW, KZ??? I'm mostly looking at what is available at Mouser.
I just want to find something that will at least equally match the original quality of the capacitors or maybe a little improvement. I'd appreciate some opinions or maybe some help finding information about the old Muse KS series.
