Audioman, Jtran, and others.....I too own a Slp-05. In considering going to better caps, be cautioned!!!! They may not make the unit sound better.......ONLY DIFFERENT!!!! When designers voice their components, they use parts that will achieve the set sound, and characteristics they hope to garner from their schematics, and circuit designs. Different caps, and resisters, do in fact sound different, with different applications!!! You may get something that is not to You're liking. The very fact that they don't recommend it should elicit the red flag!!! Perhaps, in that circuit, the best possible parts are being used to achieve that unique sound......and other upgrades would tend to compromise this.....Be Advised......J.C. ....Gerald, and Dennis both concurred to advise me on this.
