There you’ll only find components such as ...metallized-polypropylene capsThe electrolytic coupling capacitors on the op amps. Another good cost savings move, but...

Here's the schematic of each amp board. Can you point out (just enumerate the C#s) the electrolytics?
is the parts list since the schematic is of no assistance in that regard. I would look around the op amps themselves. Here are some comments regarding tweaking a different Behringer product:FWIW, I have a Behringer EQ purchased for use with my HT subs. Just don't run it full range!
All this talk about Behringer - I don't own a Behringer anything. My amp is an Acurus A200 by Mondial, and to the best of my knowledge, it has precisely 2 electrolytic caps - you can't miss them.
Thought we were still on Behringer topic....it has precisely 2 electrolytic caps.
Not that they are in the signal path, but I see five. I too, would prefer an all discrete design like your Acurus.
Yep, I see the same number. In any case, I do think a simple, discrete design like this one is preferable. There are NO electrolytics in the signal path - of that I am certain. It may not use the finest components out there, but it is built with quality parts. It's a tough little devil too. As I said elsewhere, I know it isn't exactly an audiophile amp, but it doesn't give up too much to one. It's the best sounding amp I've ever owned - that list includes components from Marantz, Kenwood, Adcom, Carver, SAE, Yamaha, Sony, NAD and Parasound.
