RE: There are always solutions.

What's scary to me is that many of the Japanese companies that for a while made the best available high voltage electrolytics (Panasonic and Nichicon) have ceased or are in the process of cutting back their production. Since, I think, electrolytics go bad even faster if they are stored and never used, I don't know what to do about this eventual problem. Or maybe I'll go before my capacitors go.

If you have an amplifier or preamplifier that needs the axial lead form factor, you are almost out of luck already. Panasonic makes none, and Nichicon makes only a few. There are those German capacitors sold by Antique Audio, still.
