I give the op the benefit of the doubt w.r.t. knowledge ozzy62, or specifically the lack of it. He is upset that the PCB is poorly supported which is a valid complaint, and has been lead astray by a "friend" who has misinformed him w.r.t. board st... 
Nikko Alpha II Capacitor question
Have you taken them off the PCB? I don't think you will find any 3 pin capacitors any more anywhere near that size, only 4 pin.

You may need a different friend for giving you advice. Copper thickness does not define the rigidity of the PCB, the thickness of the PCB does, i.e. 0.0315, 0.063 - most common, 0.091 a somewhat common stiffer upgrade. Generally though, stiffness ... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
delkal,You are confusing frequency of generation with frequency of power draw. Linear power supplies may draw power 120 times per second (rectified), but the bandwidth of what they draw is not at all limited to 60Hz but has harmonics well beyond 6... 
Affordable cables
And next on the shopping channel ....Does it slice, dice, and Julienne?No wire exists outside LCR no matter what someone wants to write or claim whether a room temperature liquid metal, solid state or quasi.  It will have R (significant at that) a... 
Has to be said
I can't hear myself playing from the listening position unless it is amplified :-)I get where you are coming from.....I think.  These "changes" mainly enable mental gymnastics.  Unless you have heard that exact performance in that exact room, you ... 
Affordable cables
That $250 RIGOL scope and that $35 multi-meter inspires almost as much confidence as the cheap varistat and hand soldered PCBs ....   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzjA9ZYYNk 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
delkal,That is not true. If all they did was transmit 60Hz, then linear power supplies would not work. There is considerably energy above 60Hz.The limitation in frequency response will be the transformer primarily. 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
Sometimes it is easier to let a horse lead themselves to water, then to do it for them .....

And if Romex is great, it is almost like OFC, single crystal, OCC, silver, etc. does not matter.

Can't say you want low loss high frequency dielectrics in one sentence and then low frequency wire in the next. One would almost think people are just guessing and speaking in conjecture. 
OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system.
If your Schumann generator is 180 degrees out of phase with the natural Schumann resonance what happens?

I have rarely seen audiophiles with anything better than 12 awg Romex dedicated line or not.
