This is what I bought, and what I paid (in the US):
Mouser:
(not that many in stock in the US btw)
UFG1H102MHM $1.95/1, $1.30/25 $1.17/100
UFG0J222MHM $1.38/1, $0.93/25 $0.853/100
Newark:
B32522C106K $3.93 ea, $3.77/100
Not sure what makes sense in the EU, probably one person in the EU has to volunteer to ship them to the others.
Otherwise, shipping costs using US mail small parcel is too high.
To put some real numbers on this, one set of caps weights about 4 ounces. To mail in a padded envelope to Europe by first class mail was around $10, so it is like raising the price by 60 cents per cap (looks like pic below).
To mail 8 sets in one package the same way, about $23 (I think), or equivalent to raising the cost per cap by only 20 cents, and the price per cap drops substantially because you are over the 25-piece break point.
If I were in Europe, what I would try to do is just get anywhere from 6 to 10 people to share the cost, as opposed to scrounging around for alternative parts or secondary markets.... How difficult can this be for people who build their own audio equipment, and solder parts the size of a grain of rice??? 🙄

You're right, this could have been done ; caps were finally ordered at mouser by Idefixes, with no shipping cost. MKT has been found here, as shown above :
eBay | 4pcs NEW VISHAY ERO MKT1820 10UF 63V HI END AUDIO CAPS!
Thanks for replying ;-)

I'm going to attempt one DMM adjusting operation today.
Lazy Cat, could you confirm acceptable ranges for current settings?Still 5 set of 4 mkt available actually, just the link that is dead...
Try to google this :

Vendor's name : umut1001

Just enter 171057547176 in the ebay search and will point you to those caps. Links do not work apparently 🙁
This is also a nice and trustworthy seller as far as I experienced.

Thank you very much.We always try to give you the best service.Hope to see you soon in our store again!
Hi Umut1001, I just bought some MKT caps. I have used your caps for recapping an old amp so just saying hi🙂
If anyone knows where I can get the Nichicon FG in small quantities without the $39.00 mouser shipping fee please let me know.

According to VSSA Installation instructions you measure/calibrate voltage drops on certain resistors:
- 120 mV voltage drop on 10 Ohm VAS emitter meaning 120 mA VAS bias current at cold start. If you will measure later at 45 °C it will rise to 160 mV i.e. 160 mA
- 4 V voltage drop on 22 Ohm/5 W rail serial dumping resistor (these two are used only in calibration phase) meaning complete VSSA current (all stages) is app. 182 mA (18-20 mA front-end + 162 mA output stage)
Well time is close for Mouser delivery to me, now I will order 2 Hypex PSU too for next week delivery. Do I understand correctly that R19 and R20 need to be replaced??? How can I recognize Yageo resistors on my PCB's ? Do Vishay use different color identification perhaps?
Thank you, Andrej.
Before proceeding to adjust, one quesition, though. There's continuity between mosfet pins 1,3,5 and the heatsink. No continuity on pins 2 and 4. Does that mean bad insulation?

How many Ohms is this resistance from each pin to heatsink? From +/-rails (pin 1, pin 5) to heatsink resistance is rising (charging ELCOs), from pin 3 it is around 100 kOhm.
For proper working conditions heatsink must be on GND potential. That is achieved by bolts conduction at VAS transistors T5, T6 or, if these are isolated as per Grounding scheme, by wire from GND faston to metal case.
