I am looking to replace some 6800uf, 63v filter caps on a Philips FA960 amp.
I wanted to go a little larger, but there are few offerings. It looks like I will have to stick with 6800uf.
Any advice on brands or lines?

I did a search at digikey from 6800 to 10k at 63V and got many. Next common size appears to be 8200 and then 10K after that.
That amp is only rated for 8 ohms, so 6.8mF should be enough if not pushed to the limit.

They're pcb mount. What I meant was that there are few choices a little larger, say at 7200uf. Is there any benefit going to 80v, or not really?
You can up the voltage to 80V without too much price penalty. 556 hits on digikey. You can also opt for snap in over leeded. Important to check available space/existing size and pin spacing, these will limit possible candidates. United chemi-con KMH or SMH series?
You have to determine the physical size and mounting first, then voltage, and then uF last.

Exactly, and the go for the Nichicon KG or FG series. Max the available space out. Remember to also check the solder pin/lugs distance.
Lug pcb patterns can vary, sometimes they are very unusual. Holes too, and snap-ins are very close tolerance.
These are my favorites at a reasonable price point, excellent specs, sound great.

Still have to make sure they fit if you choose to try them...
