Some of the blue Philips ones<br />are in the signal path and if marginal will have direct influence on the sound reproduction.</p> <p>You have an answer to your PM.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251549.aspxSat, 09 Jan 2010 17:40:34 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:251549Jeff Hoyt0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251549.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=251549<p>Thanks Martin, glad to know they&#39;re pretty safe to leave in place if I need to. I am replacing as many as I can, though. The RDE axials (gold), I assume, should go.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251542.aspxSat, 09 Jan 2010 16:44:28 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:251542Dillen0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251542.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=251542<p>There&#39;s a cap kit available and it also contains new caps for the axial types.<br />I have seen a few bad ones but the majority of the blue axial Philips&nbsp;will still be fine.<br />By far not as bad as the cylindrical ROE capacitors (which were actually very<br />fine components when new).</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251539.aspxSat, 09 Jan 2010 16:34:09 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:251539Jeff Hoyt0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/251539.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=251539<p>I&#39;m changing out the caps on my BM8000, should I regard the blue Philips caps with the same suspicion as the red RDE&#39;s?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
