Maker of caps in Hi-Cap

Posted by: Jrook on 17 June 2002

Hello, I have had my High-Cap for 6 months now and after I recieved it I decided to replace the large caps with Aerovox types. I was told that they are the replacements used in the High-Cap.
Since the last owner didn't know if they had ever been replaced I figured it was time since the unit was made in 1988. The caps that came out of my Hi-cap were made by SIC-SAFCO in 1987. I sent all the info on the cap to the manufacturer in France and they gave me the date of manufacture.
I have always thought that naim used Aerovox caps exclusively in their power supplies. Does anyone know if the SAFCO caps were used by the Naim factory? Very curious

I think they use SLCE caps now - also a French manufacturer (or the same one with new name).
