recapping Threshold SL-10

[vendo81]

Hi all. I'm recapping my Threshold SL-10 and would like your opinion on a brand of capacitor to use. I know there are allot of good brands out there but would like to hear from anyone who likes the perticular sound of a capacitor. I read of a person who used black gates in his SL-10 and was happy. What about some of the other good sounding capacitors? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our favorite caps of the moment are Kimber and Hovland.

If you search through the forum you'll find quite a few messages about the SL10. Here are the schematics that others have posted. They are quite helpful in determining how to recap an SL10. In mine, I used a combination of Blackgate caps and some Nichicon bipolar caps. I described my experience here: Restoring a Threshold SL10
