    Default Electrolytic capacitor preferences and experiences please?

    I am going to upgrade my Jolida FX Glass tube DAC.
    The main power supply caps I am leaning to Audio Note standard grade and where values can't be had Elna Silmic II.
    For coupling caps Rike Audio S Cap 2 .
    Anyone use the Standard AN electrolytic s before and if so did you like them? or the Rike Audio?

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated?

    A vote for the Elna Silmics.

    Audio note Kaisei caps in my Krell do a superb job.

    Swapped a load of the Rubycons for Silmics and they are both good. I'd give it to the Rubycons in the Beard amp I did it in. But the Silmics were still up to the job.

    Another non audio grade cap in the same positions (all 16 of them) was a disaster. Pick carefully and refer to Humble Homemade to make your choice.

    Or Open Door...

    Do Silmics go up to 400VDC?

    100V AFAICT. I have been happy with Panasonic's and Kemet's various offerings at the higher voltage end of things but more as replacements for failing components, I have done little rolling/testing so interested to hear what others have found.

    Basically you just want Japanese caps.

    I like Nippon-Chemicon KMG, if they’re good enough for Krell (loads of them in my KRC-3, never needed replacing)...

    You’ll be able to find some in your voltage rating.
