Before installing my Amiga 500 motherboard into a tower case, I would like to first replace all of the capacitors with new, higher quality, Nichicon capacitors. There are two 3,300 uF 10 volt caps near the power connector. I assume that they are for filtering the voltage from the power supply. My question is this:
Can I use "audio" caps for filtering psu voltage? Anotherwards, there are two Nichicon caps, one is a 3,300 uF 50V Electrolytic, and the other is a 3,300uF 50v Nichicon Gold "audio" Electrolytic cap. Can I use the audio version to filter the incoming power supply voltage? What is the difference between "normal" electrolytic caps and "audio" electrolytic caps? Also, the original 3,300 uF caps are rated at 10 volts, these newer caps are rated at 50 volts, can I use them?
My next question is this:
The two "problem" caps in the Amiga 500's audio circuit. Can I replace them with Nichicon Muse Bi-Polar audio electrolytic caps?
Also, anyone know where I can find the Nichicon low profile capacitors? The lead spacing on these caps fit the Amiga 500 motherboard better, so the caps will not be sticking up in the air or bent over. It is this or get higher voltage caps (same uF values) in order to get the proper lead spacing.
