: as the reported EC10 cap problem. As far as I know, simply replacing
: the 1000uF/10v caps with non-Jackcon ones is sufficient. As per reports,
: I'll replace EC10 with a 1500uF/6.3v cap. I'll send out another note once
: my changes are complete (reporting success/failure).
:
: Regarding the VP6 cap problem, some people have replaced their own caps
: with caps of the same uF/v rating. Others, who have gone the RMA route
: with the VP6, had their caps replaced with altogether different ones,
: although I can't recall the uF/v rating on the new caps.

Has anyone measured the voltage across those caps? If they are
electrolytic it's generally a good idea to put a significantly
higher voltage rating in verses the nominal voltage across the cap
(they'll last a lot longer). I am somewhat worried that the original
caps were 10v rated and you are replacing them with 6.3v rated.
