Panasonic has some very high quality caps.
BenPlease. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Nichicon makes pretty good caps too. Check Digikey or Mouser.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

+1. FWIW, Nelson Pass gives some Panasonic caps high marks and recommends them in some of his DIY stuff.
And yes, Black Gates ceased production last year. Elna and Nichicon are also very good to excellent choices. Be aware that all brands have an "economy" line and a middle line and an upper line."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway?
