Hi all, does anyone out there have any 470uF 63V or greater audio grade capacitors? it seems almost impossible to find any these days!

Thanks Matt, I'm looking for something in the "serious Audiophile" league. Not sure what is going to be best?

Hi Alan,
I think you'll be struggling to source audio caps in this capacitance and voltage, I presume they are to be used as decoupling rather than signal coupling
Does it really need to be 63v? if 50v is suitable this would give you a little more choice, maybe things like Elna Silmic , Nichicon FG or KZ. Digikey used to stock Silmic II caps, not sure what values they have
Remember though audio grade caps tend to add more of a heavy signature to the sound than GP types so I'd try them first to see what you think, some find the signature to be a distraction to the music, as an example Silmics can add a sugary sig to the sound
BTW the Panny's suggested by Matt are rated for audio, if you look at the datasheet their specs are not bad, either ones you try give em chance to bed in, audio grade caps tend to require longer run in times than GP

All I have in 470uF / 63V is Panasonic M or Panasonic NHG

Thanks for the help guys, this was a specific request from customer, had already found panasonics at cpc just wanted to see if anything better out there?
Mike if want to PM me with cost for 8 of each of what you have I will pass this on, cheers.
