sound card recap

[hkivan]

Hi guys,

I brought a Terratec Sixpack 5.1+ a few months ago.
It has many Canicon , 470uF 16v x2, 10uF 25v x44.
I learnt of Canicon is on the bad list and I gonna recap it, not
for stability issue. I wanna have better sound quality.


Apart from ELNA, can you guys give me any suggestions?

-- ? Replace all those 10uF with WIMA mkp ?

Can someone post a list good caps for sound & audio ?

i use a bunch of panasonic fc to recap vintage gear.
audiophools will likely try to peddle blackgates or other snake oil.

Yeah, get those Canicons off of there ASAP. My experience has shown them to be about the worst you can get - I've seen those fail in a PSU, and be outlived by Fuhjyyus. Don't know much about sound cards, but that sounds like a nice card so it'd be worth the recap.

kc8adu, Blackgates? Never heard of them. Let me guess, no better than Pannys and twice the cost?
