very good review. do u recommend bq-cc65 or bq-cc75 or any other charger

What about Electrocube (US) and Wima (Germany)?

I have a 2003 Daewoo CRT TV with all G-Luxon caps and it still works. So 3rd tier is still good I guess.

Are wima capacitors good? Are KEMET and Vishay safety capacitors suitable for electronic musical instruments?

Best I ever found - from tear down of old oscilloscopes- interstage coupling caps of amazing performance.

Hi, thanks for the great instructions! My Epil 7 got tangled in clothing and since then only turns 1/2 a turn then stops and has a horrible sound. So I bought a spare head. But the problem is still the same! :( Does anyone know what I could do? I have noticed that the hexagonal plastic pin ( gear?) That spins has a corner rounded off, so I am wondering if its just worn and cannot grip properly? Is that a piece that can be replaced? Thanks!

Can you please send me a link, or post it, for that tool kit you have!?!?! I do not have a single thing in my collection that will open these screws!!!

Ketuo are what Tier?

The M has to do with tolerance, m=20% tolerance & has nothing to do with the brand

Thanks!

HA HA it is funny you did not mention RIFA "The killer of electronics" at all. they should all be replaced on sight!!! There is also many Chinese re-labeled caps to watch out for I seen like for example Dongbao or Tiapeng which can even be salvaged old caps that been re-labeled and sold as new or used in super dodgy "new" products like power supplies etc. or ChongX, ChengX and many others alike may be a pure disaster. I many times seen pure copies of Rubycon or Nichicon that even have the same font and everything that is falsely labeled as the real thing and even looks the same if you don´t look close but don´t meet any specs when tested. I also seen caps like Ruby or nichicon that is the real thing but a cheaply requested product for example the Xbox 360 that is failing all together because it is meant to be cheap and life limited. also keep in mind that I also seen MANY caps start to leak electrolyte due to age from the 90s and back with many being Nichicon or other better tier brands so be careful, I seen my own motherboards almost be ruined by good caps leaking, even Quantum and other hard drives have leaky caps today. never trust old caps, NEVER. they will fail in one or another way. pretty much the only caps I trust most in is Rubycon, they really stand out in quality as long as they are made with their own "secret recipe"

Very good video on the topic without it being 3 hours long. It is incredible how much can be said about a simpel device like a capacitor, they are just not that simpel. Thank you.

What about Chengx?

Thanks, ( M ) = 20% tolerance

Great info! I think you should have included Fischer and Tauche, or T&F, as they're known in Europe. They're a German manufacturer of high quality high voltage electrolytic capacitors. They're largely known in the vacuum tube guitar amp field but I'm recapping some CW ham radio transmitters and am using T&F capacitors because it's hard to find axial electrolytics with high voltage ratings.

I even use 3rd tier brands for recaping old hifi stuff never ever Problems with 63V FuhYin Hermei Jackcon and Jamicon ---BUT with expensive boutique bcaps as Nichicon Muse and Elna Durolux those leak and ruin the boards....

Thanks a lot..

Samwha are Korean caps and are well made and last a very long time. I have some that were in a infinity beta digital 300 amplifier and lasted 27 years, before I recapped with the same caps. Hopefully I get another 27 years.

4:30 that's a Panasonic FC series, not M series. Great caps, very popular with the audio crowd. My only complaint would be a low hour rating for many values.

Thank you for video I think mine would solve it ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKiYhpyQbsuMatU

Good job

what about Korean Samyoung caps? i know LG and Samsung use them in their TVs. according to nippon chemi con website they own 34% of the company

just a charger. and the internal looks like freaking super computer wtf!!

Wow fantastic and a list too, that's going on my workshop wall. Thanks

So, I've used my charger maybe 3 times, and it stopped working 😂 There are no lights when I plug it in, could it be the fuse? Is it removable easy?

What about Yongming capacitors? Anker used in charger

any thoughts about Hitano caps ?

you're a king for just putting the tier list in the description, thanks for this vid.

What about German F&T capacitors? They should definitely be in the first tier list.

I had used Panasonic bq-cc16 smart & quick charger since 2016. I used this rarely. Sometime i noticed some short-circuit sound while connect for charging. But in 2022 same happened and this time it burned. Burned its IC. Because of the complicated pcb, I believe it is not an easy to fix it to working condition. So I kept a side. I was fan of panasonic products. I was owned mixer grinder,ac, dvd player and this charger too. But most of them have quality issues. They become fault in PCB. So I decided to look other brands aswell. Note: they won't make any performance issues while on its working condition. Problem in poor PCB's

I the red M stands for Matsushita which is the old name for Panasonic Corporation. It is the name of the founder of the company Konosuke Matsushita who foundered Panasonic in 1918 as a lightbulb socket manufacturer!

Should of seen the naff caps that came out an amp I recently fixed, NAD c352. Most were leaking and pretty much useless. Used Panasonic caps to bring it back to life.

Ok so I refit a Sherwood Newcastle amps capacitors. For the main filters I used some jccon caps. When I got them they felt heavy, no rattles ect, and they have been fine. Can't find much info online about jccon - you any clue if they are any good? They were affordable compared to other brands. Enjoyed your video 🙂

What about Jinghai?

Don't see Kyocera/AVX in the list, but yeah their are in the top tier.

So how did you arrive at this list? Measured ESR? Capacitance? True voltage rating? How the brand sounds?

My DTV set top box stopped working when a cap failed. All the caps in it are "Sunvika", ie inferior Chinese garbage that doesn't even make your shit list. I got on Mouser and ordered a set of quality low esr caps with the longest hour ratings they had in stock to replace the whole lot of 7 electrolytics I pulled.

Hi. You overlooked Samwa, tier one.

KEMET is right up there as well. I use them often for smoothing caps. They excel at handling ripple.

Samwha capacitors? i got 2 of them 63V 2200uf but they both having different scale of cut at the top. one is an X mark which having thin cutout, but the second cap top is an + mark which having little bit wider cutout. kinda weird

Nice instructions but i have one question: How do you discharge the battery to 3 Volts? Do you need special equipment? Thanks again for the detailed instructions.

How about AudioNote caps?

I bought silk epil 7 and it stopped working after two years .. and then I bought new one and after few years it 2nd one also stopped working . Don't know how to fix it ..? No matter how much I charge when I turn on it , suddenly red light begin Flickring ...so much annoying..

Most of the Japanese cap companies are making theirs in China and Malaysia..... My new Arcam Amp has some Samxon, Teapo, Nover and JUNZL caps. Taiwanese and Chinese caps now are fine.

Nice. The guitar pedal I just bought came with Nichicon Gold and orange drop caps. I figured they were great but not top tier. Nice!

hi, ihave silk epil7 which doesn't work. without the epilator it turns on with green light. but when i put the epilator backq it works only for a second and turns off.

I am wondering if you ever tested JCCON capasitors. (Spesifeclly 1000uf 35v 10mm*20mm one).

Hola, hay una marca JCCON, no la encuentro en tu lista, la conoces ?? donde quedaría ?

Thank you so much !

Is the capacitor of this brand good? JCCON
