In Marantz units, I like to use Wima MKS2 at signal path inputs to replace .47uf and 1uf e-caps. I would also use them on the preamp board in the signal path. I have done a 1060 and chose to not use any Wima.
Here is my 1060 thread.

Here is BK's 1060 rebuild (I would rate this as technically the best I have seen)

*******FWIW on my 1060 I only replaced the e-caps I left in the Marantz films, and did not switch to Wima.
Thanks Patfont. I read some of your other threads until the late hours last night (2245, 2220B, etc) and saw how much work you put into trying different components in different slots.
For the 1060, was the choice to stick with ecaps instead of Wima or the Panasonic ECW's you used in the 2245 a decision based on trying them out and not preferring them, or not wanting to go through the comparison process (which has to be very time consuming).
BK was kind enough to send me his BOM list, and I'll be using his choices by default, but the signal path caps is where I started seeing different choices and wanted to research more before I placed my order.
