I note most of LJM amp boards use the Polymer electrolytic capacitors for the Input capacitor? ( I am assuming the one I show is one?) The value seems to be 33uF, obviously not easily swapped for a film type due there very large size at this value. From what I have read they are considered be quite good sound quality-wise and superior to any Electrolytic types even Bi-Polar? QUESTION: How do I find out what actual type this is please?

I'm going to use the old idiom "If it looks like a duck..."
I purchased a DIY pair of L12-2 Ver4.2 boards from Aliexpress. I noticed among the parts that the capacitor to which you are referring had been substituted by (what I believe to be) a 35v 33uf electrolytic capacitor.
Every photo of an L12 I have seen did not show the capacitor I had been given. I went looking for what I thought would be the correct replacement and searching for a polymer capacitor always looks like the one I'm after. Also, the size is correct at 6mmx6mm. I purchased a pack of 20 for $1 ($3 shipping) hoping I can find 2 good ones out of the bunch. I'm new at this hobby and trying to learn as I go along. Time will tell if my purchase was a wise one.
