Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp?


I have done replacing blown resistors from a tube amp before, but not capacitors.
Replacing capacitors would be as easy as replacing resistors?
I will have an old SS AR preamp which is over 20 years old, and am thinking about replacing all caps by myself, but I'd like to hear any caution or tips of doing the job.

thx

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the volts in tube gear is lethal. Like 300 V or more is quite common.

So, pay extra attention to finding the voltage supplies, and measuring that they have fully discharged, using a resistor to drain high voltages.

So in the schematic, only worry about changing caps with a polarity (+) sign.
First, the preamp is old, second there is an audible hum even at the lowest volume.
Also, I’ve read many glorious stories of old preamps sounding much better after recaps, so I want to give a try by myself.
There are only 4 caps with + signs, so replacing 4 would be relatively simple, I hope.
Is Nichicon a good brand?
Any other recommendations for hifi audio grade capacitors?
thx
Audio grade is not usually what you want in a power supply. :)

But Nichicon makes excellent caps. 4 sounds about right.

Oops, I forgot you said it was SS. Typical volts in SS gear is 30 or less, you should be fine.
Another good line is the Panasonic FM line. If you can findd them in your values, they are kind of limited in sizes.
