How much do caps matter-Cary SLI-80

Yes, If you are going to ship or hire a tech, might as well replace all four IMO. I had those Jensen oils in my former SLI-80, they do produce a softer and more veiled over sound in that amp. If you like it, can always stick with it.

While I have the same caps in my Cary preamp now, doing some testing with a few friends who opted to go with the upgraded Mundorf's that Cary offers as an option. Any good tech can source the same caps as suggested above.I ran the Mundorfs in my prior Cary amps and current amps from another mfg. More open, clear, with nice texture. It varies. 

As others have said, each brand/type/model cap can all produce a different sound and result. Its worth figuring out what you'd like to change about the sound if you are going to replace all four caps.

I don’t like responding without taking the time to give it some thought. 

Alright, now that's funny.

The Cary SLI-80 amplifier is timeless, it won’t die, and nothing has changed except the spelling of my handle-name, ...not, lol i caught it late only looking at the last post ;)
