Re: Chinese low ESR electrolytic capacitors that are decent?
I have used Lelon (the ones with black and orange sleeve), I found out that those were the original caps used on my router, that has been turned on 24/7 since approx 2007 - 2008 and still going strong.
I was able to source the same caps from Ebay and I recapped my monitor with them three years ago, to test the longetivity of them and it's been in daily use ever since.
I've also had success with Taicon and SamWha capacitors. Now I have seen quite a few failed SamWhas on Samsung TV's but they all were about 5 to 7 years old before they failed, so I'd say they're good enough for a "sunday repairer" that does not do repairs for clients.
