Well, this will actually be for an audio application (modifying my Delta 1010 soundcard). I have heard good things about Rubycon ZA for audio, but it's no longer being made. The ZLG is the closest Rubycon substitute for the ZA, that's why I'm looking for it.Comment

Re: Where to buy Rubycon ZLG caps?
for non snakeoil audiophool recaps in vintage gear i use panasonic fc.
did a recap on a marantz 2285 with blackgates in the right and fc in the left.
i sleeved them so looking at it wouldnt give it away.
10 folks i know listened and could not tell the difference.they are very picky and babble lots of audiophool crap.Comment

Re: Where to buy Rubycon ZLG caps?
Is it just me or does everybody in here feel that the "special for audio" caps are a huge scam? Till date I've not seen any difference in sound quality after repair. I had a dude try to school me on static hiss and the quality of components/caps blah blah...turned out to be an improper ground. From that day, I've been calling BS on all these hyper ultra super cap theories.Q6700 @ 3.6 GHz

i am not saying there is no difference but unless you are looking with fancy test gear they are not worth the 10-20x markup over plain fc.Originally posted by Super Nade
nobody i know can hear any difference.
audiophools buy overpriced crap for bragging rights.
with that kind of money being spent for bling someone will always produce products to cash in.Comment

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,... -
Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
