I have five of these amps and they are fantastic.I use a 30uf at 600v poly but you can go 700v but it's not necessary.It doesn't reach anywhere near the 600v but you can use a 30uf at 630v solen or a 30uf at 700v wima.
This amp has over 500v even after the choke so the 500v caps are being over voltaged a bit..The AC voltage when the amp was made is lower than it is today.You can also use the Authenticaps which are 550v and 600 surge and I'm going to be using them in mine.
