I have compiled a list of caps to redo my Toshiba SA-7150. With the ever-increasing depletion of Panasonic FC/FM not to mention the limited selection any more in "common" smaller sizes, I have resorted this time to use Nichicon UPW's entirely everywhere. I did, however, still use some ECQ-V's for anything less than 1mfd and have used Silmic II's and Muse's in the path.
I have used in the past, Panasonic FM/FC's most everywhere in the and kept the Nichicon PW's and Vishay 138 primarily in the P.S. with a dabbling of ECQ-V's and Silmic II's, and/or Nichicon KZ & FG in the audio path with good results. I have subscribed to the notion, like some others have eluded to, that most ANY, high quality-low ESR cap has got to be better than anything that is in your 30+ year-old gear. I have stayed away from some high dollar "boutique" caps and closely followed the ever-informative and quite lengthy post that PatFont did a while back on his "state of the art" series, not to mention the teachings by EW and MTF.
There are surprisingly very few caps in this monster which should make it a pleasure to undertake.
Can anyone concur or vehemently oppose my thinking here?
Thanx for your opinions!
