Have anyone tested SAMWHA for Audio capacitors ?

Farnell seems that no longer stock these. Is any other place, in Europe, where to buy such caps ?

I have use their low esr (for switchmode PSU's) 105degC caps as reservoir caps in my power amp... 22000uF 35V they were. No problems to report.

Thanks Shaun for your response !
My question is related only to SAMWHA for Audio capacitors, not other series which I know that they are reliable.
Are SAMWHA for Audio same as good as NICHICON KG ?

Hi Tibi
I'm not familiar with the "for audio" caps. Actually the Samwha caps I used were samples that we had been evaluating at my old job. This was for switch-mode applications. I figured they should be good enough for audio, and they were OK.
I have a pair of 20 year old 8200uf 63v that the el-cheapo meter says are the same capacitance, esr .1 ohms, 1.3% loss.
Just pulled out of a Denon receiver here last week.
The new epcos parts that replaced them sounded much better.

I have some 13000µF Nichicons hier with manufacturing-stamp 70110 which meassure 8102/8430µF with 1,9%/1,3% losses and 30mOhm ESR... Replaced them with 22mF LNT with the same terminal spacing and size - it's like night and day...
