The Nichicon FM series are very magnetic and now you tripped a breaker in my head.
The Silmic II are not magnet.
I'm going with Nichicon Muse UFG. None of the Nichicon classes list whether or not they are non-magnetic. Only the Silmic II notes mention tinned copper leads.
I'm tired of looking, so Muse will have to do.

See, it is catchy.
hahahaha
Panasonic FC, or Nichicon UKZ etc
Panasonic FC are definitely non magnetic (copper leads)
I suspect Nichicon UKZ also use copper leads.

I have some Nichicon Muse Bipolars. I will test them now.

It is safe to assume the other audio grade Nichicon caps UKZ and UFG also have copper leads.

Woosies 
there is nothing wrong with little Iron in circuit....... so why excluding resistor & cap leggies from that ?

btw. I had a dream , how to manage that situation with one channel weak;
just move it to place of proper channel , and it'll heal

(not going to say that it worked for me in my repair boozines ..... but never late to try ......... again )

Transformer hum pick up on magnetic parts on an amp without feedback (to correct it) is gonna give me a brain aneurysm.
Hahahaha
I warned him it was catchy.

It just occurred to me what the Panasonic capacitor codes signify
Panasonic FC = Farkn Copper
Panasonic FM = Farkn Magnetic

Will see on Thursday. 🙂
Already spoke with Mouser.
Already shipped.
They said I can send back if they are not "correct".
Nichicon UFG Fine Gold are definitely non-magnetic.
Mouser sent out 10 when the order called for 20.
They are sending out the other 10.

Replaced all caps, ran fine until plugged into the system, then went cold. Replaced bias pot and TL431 and ran ok until I brought up the AC voltage to 120v.
So this change of parts worked out worse then just replacing the caps.
Unless anyone has a suggestion, I'll buy new boards and matched mosfets from the store.
Thanks

Replaced both pots as well
I don't understand why it works a little while then the bias just drops.
At this point it's faster for me to build a new board.
Maybe I'll just remove each part and check off board.
Look at it as a project in itself.
