Hi all,
Digi-key has just informed me that various Nichicon production for audio use (FG and perhaps other audio series) will cease production, but I don't quite understand if Digi-key will no longer keep these series or if it is Nichicon that will cease production and whether there will be substitutes.
Does anyone have certain or official news of what is happening?

I believe digi key is just letting you know a cap you have bought before is being EOL'd. I get them all the time for stuff I've bought. If you want that part, buy it now if they have some. I think I saw on audiokarma that nichi is slimming down their offerings. Could be just one more nail in the coffin of thru hole devices.
