I opened up my Fireface 800 to repair the power supply and noticed that the blue 3300uF/6.3v capacitor is bulging on one of the preamps. The preamp still works however I'd like to avoid any potential future issues. Do you have recommendations for it's replacement? I tracked down the original however it is out of stock:
Would I be better off sourcing higher quality capacitors? Panasonic, etc.
Are there any particular specs that I should look out for? For the power supply it was low ESR, etc.
Hi, thanks for this!
