I suppose the only way I'll know if the low ESR Nichicon HE sound better than the RFS "magic silk" Elna is to try them for myself.

But I'll agree with you in advance regarding the "last longer" part. The Elnas in the values I need are rated at 1000 hours, the Nichicon HE @ 10,000 hours.

I've generally used Panasonic FM or FC in the past, but after reading the post linked below, I thought I'd try the Nichicon HE. The poster claims they measure better than the Panasonics. Or they did twelve years ago, anyway!

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated!
