Harman Kardon 730 Rebuild Prep - Nichicon UKL's are obsolete, OK to use Panasonic EE's?

[davefr]

I'm doing my homework and preparing an up to date Mouser BOM for an upcomming HK730 rebuild. Dlucy's 730 mega thread has suggested using Nichicon UKL low leakage caps which are NLA. Would Panasonic EE's be a decent choice for a substitute? I'm planning on replacing all electrolytics, will do the RIAA phono bd. mods, but unless there are issues I want to avoid replacing any transistors except for the 2CS1400's and 2SC1345's that are on the AK "**** list".

I'm planning to use Nichicon 5700UF/63V tab mount main rectifier caps. (1 step higher in both capacity and voltage)

Any other suggestions or lessons learned since the mega thread? TIA

According to the datasheet the EE series start at 160V. I don't think that will be a good match. The UKL series is low leakage. Rubycon has a TWL series that is low leakage. DigiKey, mouser and others sell them. There is a thread on AK about low leakage caps too.
