cd player caps

Posted by mayanitis (A) on July 25, 2007 at 11:55:19

after checking inside my Musical Fedelity A5 cd player, I have found that all the larger caps (470uf 100v and bigger) appear to be leaking ie a brown pool forming under each cap. The unit is out of warrenty, but I would like some feed back on a few issues.

The cd player has been sitting on top of the a5 intergrated amp but nether gets very hot, is it possible that heats a problem.

the cd player is awash with jamicon caps, considering that partsconnection are currently selling jamicon 4700uf 25v caps on special for $1.50 each (down from $1.95) I am far from confident about these caps, has any one else had reliability issues with them, remember that this is a $4000aud cd player

recommended caps ....Im contemplating sticking in a bunch of blackgates,has anyone found these to be good upgrade for a cd player
