In Reply to: Capacitor replacement advice anyone? posted by DRam on November 29, 2016 at 18:39:28:
Most have recommended that you replace them with caps of matching dimensions and uf Value, and possibly higher voltage rating.I'd suggest looking into getting quieter diodes - Schottkys - IF they will fit, and go with the highest voltage rating AND uf caps that will fit the available space.
? better diodes will be quieter, both in the audio band and above it which can help if it's a wide bandwidth circuit.
? Higher voltage ratings will increase the life of the caps.
? And, high storage PSUs make power amps sound more relaxed at LOUD, IMO&E. Bass will be better, too.
