Hi,
I have an Onkyo A-809 amplifier where one capacitor has leaked some electrolyte and a few other ones are bulging at the top. The caps in question are C909 - C916 on this diagram:
Onkyo A-809 Manual - Stereo Integrated Amplifier - HiFi Engine
Are these caps crucial to sound quality? I can't work out what function they are part of other than that they are part of the preamp circuitry.
I'm thinking of going for ELNA RFS SIMLIC II capacitors with the same uF and higher voltage on some. Are these any good for this replacement? They use silkfiber - is that just rubbish or does it have some merit?
