Arcam Amplifier AVR 850 Recapping / Caps blew out Upgrade Question


Hi All, 

 

I have an Arcam AVR850 receiver and my main CAPS blew out. There are 4 of them: 

 

2 x Acon 80V 15000 uF

2 x Koshin 50V 22000 uF

 

If anyone is familiar with amplfiers, sound quality and capacitors, can you tell me if these are good brand capacitors or should I upgrade and use some other brand capacitors instead to improve my amplifier performance. 

 

Do you know if it will change my sound by changing out the capacitors ? 

 

Thanks!

Losing all four power supply caps at once seems to indicate a  problem with other parts (rectifier diodes) that should be addressed. A qualified technician should check your amp out.

Replace with the same values. The brand doesn't matter, though I would try for all four from the same company.
