Changing electrolytics

Hello, I have to change the 4 big electrolytics in the PS of my Threshold Sa/3.9e.

What brand do you suggest for best sound/reliability?

Thanks

That will make fitment easier, using the same securing bands, etc. Should be higher temp rating than the Mallory’s and try to stay with 10% of the max capacitance of the MMallorys. FWIW, Mallory was bought/taken over by Cornell Doublier.
