I am planning to recap my recently acquired AU5900, starting with signal path caps and the 2 big power caps.
1. What do you recommend for caps in the signal path?
2. What good 2x 15000uF brand is recommended (without breaking the bank)
3. Will someone kindly list or encircle the caps in the signal path on the schematics ( from HIFI engine), as I am a bit confused about the signal path ( as it is not traced as in MArantz schematics)...I am not a technician, but I understand basic electronics and have soldering skills.

What a good surprise when I opened the amp a couple oh hours ago....mostly all capacitors are new ones except the power ones 2x 10000uF which are old nichicon cylinders 82x40cm. I can see some small nichicon FG fine gold series on the amp power board and other slightly bigger Nichicon 100uF 50V. The former owner did not mention that.
I intend to finish the job by changing the power caps... one question is Kemet a recommended brand for this purpose, I see that they are somewhat cheeper e.g REf ALT22A153DE063 Kemet 15000uF 63V or Ref ALS70A163DE063 16000uF 63 V from farnell.

Can I use the Kemet capacitors for the power supplies :REf ALT22A153DE063 Kemet 15000uF 63V or Kemet Ref ALS70A163DE063 16000uF 63 V from farnell. Any response please?

Sure you can use the Kemet capacitors for the power supplies. ALT22A153DE063 Kemet 15000uF 63V is easy to use with soldering terminals, ALS70A163DE063 16000uF 63 V screw terminals need extra parts to connect
Are there any dangers or damages that can result using a higher current cap 16000uF instead of the original 10000uF power filter caps in the sansui au5900?
