I rebuild quite a few vintage receivers these days, but I'm not sure about the caps I use.
Since I also repair tons of other equipment (mainly computers and TV's), I mostly stock caps such as UCC KY, KZE, KMG, Nichicon PW, HM, Panasonic FC and FM.
I usually use FC for anything in the audio path, but have also used KY, KZE, and KMG.
Is there really any harm in using PSU rated caps in audio circuits, or in old linear power circuits? I've used PW, KY, and LXZ in a couple Marantz power supplies with no issues.
Reason I ask, is I heard somewhere that it's a bad idea to use low impedance caps in certain types of circuits. Is this true?
