Now that my KST-100 is complete, I'm planning to change the electrolytics in my matching KSL line stage preamp from the early 90's. The factory installed primarily Sprague 511D electrolytics in the power supply and audio sections. This amp uses 18ea 1000uf/25V on the main board, and 1k,470,and4700uf for the power supply section. All factory Spragues (80D for the 4700's).
My plan is to use quality Nichicon long life caps (ie UHW) series or similar in the power supply. I was looking at using Elna Silmic II's for the 1k/25V for the main board, but they are too tall for the case; ie I can't use 35.5mm length caps in this preamp.
Do you guys have a suggestion for the main board?
