Hey all,
I've used the search, and while there is a lot of info, I still am seeming a bit uneasy about buying parts. I am going to start recapping my Yamaha PM1000 16ch, starting with the power supply. Looks like there are 4x 470uF/50v, 7x 220uF/80v, 3x 1000uF/16v, and one large cap can @ 1000uF/80v. My question is, how much can I increase these caps, what will be the advantage, and which caps will specifically need increasing. I understand (i think) that by increasing you smooth out the ripple and will get better constant dc filtering. Just now sure how much is too much.
I also am wondering about the master section in regards to recapping. Same questions with electrolytics there too.
Here's a link to the schematic download.

Any help would be great.
Thanks,
