    Can't find replacement nichicon electrolytic capacitors 10000uF for 1980s Sansui receiver

    Hello, I am trying to revive my 1983 Sansui Z-7000 receiver. It has 2 - nichicon 10,000uF power supply caps at 71v, 85degC. 80mm high x 40mm wide. They have 5 pins (separated by 60deg each), only 2 are active (across from each other), spaced at 25mm across from each other. They have vents on the...

    Migrating from AU717 to BA-F1 combo

    Hi Folks, First of all, I want to thank you for the possibility of joining this prestigious forum. For about 15 years, I have had a Sansui AU 717 amplifier powering Bose 901 series 4 speakers. Very happy with my team but always wanting a little more definition and power for those hungry 901s...

    Substitutions for discontinued capacitors

    tl;dr: With some of the community’s favorite lines of electrolytic caps going away, what will/have become the new preferred components? Is it “Panasonic FC or bust”? I’ve been having a hard time sourcing certain electrolytic capacitors. In particular, many of the conventionally-recommended...

    Audio grade capacitor series codes for best brands 2022.

    I want to recap my Yamaha C4’s Function Board with good quality caps. Would probably just buy all Nichicon Muse (ES code) or Fine Gold (FG) and have done with it but it’s very hard to get the various cap sizes in all the specs because of distributors supply issues. As long as the cap is by a...

    Realistic Nova 7 tweeter questions

    Thanks in advance for any and all replies here. I purchased a pair of Nova 7 speakers and committed the unforgiveable sin of listening but not asking for both grills to be removed. So I got home and quickly found one stock Realistic 4ohm tweeter (or maybe I should say stock looking, should they...

    NAD 3020A recap assessment.

    Hi, Have just recapped my owned-from-new NAD 3020A. Sounds good on first outing and have managed to get 0mV DC on the speaker posts. Attaching some photos. Prior to buttoning it up, please could anyone knowledgeable on the recapping of this particular amp let me know if I’ve made any obvious...

    Splitting hairs with filter caps

    I'm deciding between the following filter capacitors to replace a 4700uF/35V in a Luxman L1, and after checking the specs, it seems like the best among the three is the EPCOS/TDK. The thing is, while being better at ripple current and having a considerably better tan δ, their leakage equation...

    Can't choose which big filter cap. Does it matter?

    Hi, I'm trying to decide which capacitor to use to replace the big filter caps in a Luxman L-3. The original ones are two 6800uF 50V Rubycon caps. After much reading, I've decided I'll replace them with 10000uF 63V capacitors, and from the available at Digikey I've narrowed down to two: a...

    Hitachi HA 610 Recap - Elna Silmic vs Nichicon Gold?

    Hello everyone, I just acquired a Hitachi Ha 610 with the intention of recapping it. Of these, which series is best for the signal path? I plan on using Nichicon LKS for the 12000 mf 63v filter caps. Also could I increase the capacitance and voltage for the filter caps? If there is another...

    AKAI AP 306C - small value capacitors

    Hi Y'all, Am busy trying to collect all the capacitors I need for the drive drive PCB (AP-2642) and stumbled upon two odd looking capacitors, in blue (electrolytic), from Sanyo having low capacitance values: 2.2uF/25v and 0.47uF/25v. Mouser isn't able to go that low in the preferred Nichicon...

    Old Nichicon Muse Capacitor replacements.

    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...

    2230b alone or Phono preamp too?

    Hello all. Just wondering if you think the 2230b has a strong enough phono section that it would be redundant to also add a nice phono preamp as well? I have recapped the whole receiver and used high quality Nichicon electrolytics on most of the phono board and also some Wima film caps. Just not...

    Upgrading a pair of realistic nova 15s

    I picked up a pair of nova 15s at a goodwill for $1.99 since they had foam rot... I found the foam for $8 to do the pair, but also heard they could probably use a crossover upgrade, without spending a ton of money on fancy caps... Can i just use standard nichicon caps or will that have a adverse...
