    ELNA FOR AUDIO, is it fake?

    Hi, i just bought some elna for audio caps. But with black caps.

    Elna 3300 Japan

    Someone can tell me, is it original elna or fake one?
    Because i never see elna with black cap

    Best regards,

    Danny

          Yup, I heard that before. Real elna have --)- mark on it.
          like this one:
          elna 4700uf

          Maybe its fake, hopefully it sounds good that's more important

              Appears real to me.

              Sometimes the manufacturer puts the discs there per a customer's order. If you are unsure, remove the disc and see if the vent stamp is there. The disc "floats" and is not attached to the cap body or sleeve.

              These appear to be older caps. The new "For Audio" series is marked "TONEREX". See attachment.

                      I have seen two large Elna "FOR AUDIO" capacitors in a Yamaha CD player made in Japan in the early 90s.
                      Some audio-grade capacitors may have the audio equipment manufacturer's name on them e.g. JVC or Kenwood.
                      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                          Help troubleshooting an audio problem with an RCA SGT-250 CED Player
                          by samson7point1@yahoo.com
                          The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.

                          The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"...

                          Hi,

                          I have capacitors like this one in the photo. There are differences between other Elna series, I attach foto of Elna RE3. On this green capacitors series is not specified! Fake?...

                          Roland KR-3500/4500 Digital Piano. Crackling audio sound on all keys -Fixed
                          by i_am_patch
                          Hi All. I had a Roland KR-3500 Digital Piano (similar to the KR-4500) that exhibited a Crackling audio sound on all keys. After reading somewhere about someone with a similar issue who had replaced all the Electrolytic caps I decided to also go down that route. (Spoiler : It worked !) After some basic troubleshooting I determined that it could be noise feeding thru from the Keyboard scanning since the Demo tunes played back undistorted and the Audio amp / speakers were fine ( Inserted an Audio signal into the rear Audio input). After extracting the main board from the shield, I replaced 7 Capacitors...

                          Monitor Audio RSW12 - Green light but no audio
                          by MOSSEP
                          Hi

                          Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.

                          Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.

                          The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.

                          I have already tried replacing all of the...

                          MacBook Air 2337 - Right I/O Board Audio IC - Alternative Replacement?
                          by grimacelord
                          Hello,

                          I'm working on a MacBook Air A2337 that had liquid damage on the right I/O board. I ultrasonic cleaned the board and it all functions except the computer has no audio. I tried reballing the audio IC which is TAS5770AC0, but that did not restore audio. I could just replace the entire board, but I wanted to see if replacing the audio IC would fix it first. Mouser has a similar audio IC in stock which is TAS5770LC0YFFR, but I wasn't sure if it is compatible. I was just wondering if anyone knew if I could use the one from mouser as an acceptable replacement or if I need to purchase...
