In Reply to: Help required for Plinius 8150 Caps. posted by Nilanjan on October 10, 2017 at 01:42:45:
All four caps should be the same, or AT LEAST the same value! Elna caps are probably original, other two a cheap repair. That's why they're failing.
Replace all four with the same value uF (10000, a very common value) and voltage (100, or higher won't hurt). A larger value will not yield any sonic benefits, so don't stress over that. It appears that there is room on the OD of the cheapo caps and even the Elna's, so you could perhaps go larger OD. Most new electrolytic caps are smaller than older types of the same value. You also need to know the spacing of the leads or lugs. These are almost certainly "snap-in" types, which can be a bit tricky to unsolder. You need a big, hot iron and plenty of solder wick and patience.
Look for 105 degree duty, low ESR, decent ripple current.
Peace,
