Thought it may be better to start new thread as the other seems as it died.
Okay so Im down to getting my caps for the voice cards. Here is the service manual.

Now everyone says to go with higher Voltage caps. I did throughout the PSU and motherboard. I really want to stay as close to the original caps as possible in the audio path. Im wanting the Elna Cerafines as they are known to be more aggresive and thats what the OBXa is all about. The issue is the 35V versions of today are to large and I would have to go with 25V for them to fit. The originals are 35V.
Now scotrod is a very knowledgable guy and said that the audio path does go above 11V and the power rails do not go above 15V, 25V would be fine. But most of what I read says to get higher voltage caps than originals and if the originals are 35V Im weary about getting 25V. But I have the utmost respect for scotrod and I know nothing ,but I would like to get some of your opinions after looking at the schemo of the voice cards on page 56.
