Tincture of time

I am always surprised when someone writes that he can hear big sonic differences between two very good electrolytic capacitors of identical value and voltage rating used in a power supply filter. My advice would be to check that your installation is "good". Good solder joints, etc. Then give the new cap some time to break in, not that I necessarily believe that will make a big difference. Beyond that, it's a matter of opinion, but I like ELNA Silmic II low voltage electrolytics, given my druthers. However, there should be nothing at all wrong with your new Nichicon, unless it is damaged or defective.
