Just got some Nichicon fine gold capacitors for the signal path of my 1985 Yamaha amplifier. Sounds cleaner than ever and all the caps I ordered cost me less than £2.
If you like fg, try Panasonic fm next time you can’t get some value in nichicon.
I looked into them, but unfortunately they are very hard to find in the EU.
If you’re repairing something it’s always worth it to spend more on good components. Saving 10 cents a product isn’t worth it when you do <100 a year.
What do you mean? Nichicon's fg series are one one the best reviewed audio grade capacitors, not to mention that Yamaha used their products in the original build. It just so happens that at these specs even the most expensive capacitors cost next to nothing, that's why I mentioned it as a cheap luxury.
