Hi Guys,
I recently purchased my first SSL product, A pair of re-racked 19" SSL G channels. I noticed that they had never been recapped so I ordered some caps immediately.
My question to you all here which I believe hasn't been asked after reading through all of the recapping threads. My cards all seem to use many "SU" Capacitors, SU capacitors seem to be Bi-Polar in nature. I had planned on replacing them with Panasonic FM's and FR's & FC's but now I'm wondering if I should keep them as SU's or replace them all with Nichicon green ES Bi-Polars?
I included a little pic of the originals on the left and my intended replacements on the right.
In Addition, Why do the SU's have a negative line down the side and if SU's are Bi-Polar Caps and were used throughout these cards then why do the cards have a + symbol etched? Was the Bi-Polar cap an afterthought or maybe SU's were more readily sourced?
Im a little confused, Does anyone have any input on this matter?
Cheers
Jesse
