Now that "Black Gates" are no longer available,

What are the best choices for upgrading electrolytic capacitors?

Would you like to buy my pair of 100+100 500v? I use VALAB 47uF film caps. No more lytics after regulator. For cathode caps I use nichicon KZ.

I have used them on two different projects and I have been very happy with them. Here is a link. I usually get the ones with the lowest ESR. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=131081&k=panasonic%20TS Mechans they stop production a couple of years ago I believe. Not a big enough market. Good luck
