    Im changing some caps in a psu. Values are 1000uF and a couple of 470uf, voltage 16v - 35v.

    My local supplier has:
    Rubycon YXF
    Elna RE3
    Nichicon UPS
    Panny EC

    Any of these a worthwhile upgrade on standard Jamicons??

    T-bone,

    The psu schem is posted on here, a few threads down. Its for the MF pre. I want to have a play with whats there first. The entire PCB is about 4" x 6" so everything is close.

    I'd go for the RUBY'S OR THE PANNYS, I've had good upgrades with pannys even when most people think there little better than standard, implimentation is the key.
    If fact I use NO black gates at all in any of the work I do usless specifically ask too :eek:

    People get good results with elna's, especially the cerafines. You could try teh panny TSHC's if its a 10mm spacing these are very unrated and pretty good

    Thanks WM. Ive gone for Panny FC's mainly with some Elna's in certain places where I think they'll make the biggest difference. I had a good measure last night and Ive managed to up the values on most of the caps. We'll see, its all good fun.
