Hello everyone,
I've joined this forum for quite some time now, but never had the need or courage to open a thread. Before presenting my problem, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the owners and contributors for making the effort in keeping this forum alive.
I've learned a lot by browsing and reading all the threads and due to the information acquired, I've recently decided to resurrect one of my amps, a Sansui AU-555a. It needs a recap and a balance pot replacement. Regarding the caps I have opted for Elna Silmic II in combination with Mundorf Mlytic AG. So I've ordered the caps but had a very big surprise when they've arrived. Some of the Elnas were a different color then the one specified in the data sheet, namely red gloss sleeve with gold markings (non-ROHS) or brown matt sleeve with silver markings (ROHS). They were black sleeve with gold markings.
So my question is: are they real or fakes? Bellow are some pictures of the capacitors that I have received.
Thank you in advance for any help and I do apologise if I haven't posted my question in the right category.
All the best,
Angel H.
