You're welcome

I was pretty sure I'd heard of Nichicon KW before, so I did a search. Then I remembered that I actually have two sitting here, waiting to be installed in the filament supply of my tube preamp.

One of the two caps I had in there started leaking. I replaced both of them with a couple of caps I had on hand, but they were only 3,300 µF, and I've found the sound improves with more capacitance. I bought two 22,000 µF Nichicon KW for that position.

By the way, thank you for your take on the KZ and Elna Silmac. The original poster was asking about signal path, but have you done any comparisons of these (or other) electrolytics in power supply use?
