    The 8200uf in the Roksan are quite chunky already so hopefully i'll be able to squeeze the new ones into the same gap. I'd rather keep them sat on the board.
    Any chance of a rough diameter size of the elnas you have??

    I looked them up on Hifi collective and they only have the 10000uf 63v left in Cerafine so i can't go bigger unless i find a good quality alternative.

    Hello Andy they measure 50mm in diameter and 80mm in length with the lugs adding 13mm onto that. You will also need to find out whether the caps in the amp are two pin or four pin, DNM do some well regarded four pin power caps at £25 each 10000uf.

    Thanks.
    Bit worried about the voltage too...heard it's not a good idea to go lower than the originals, in which case i've seen 80v Mundorfs for a little cheaper than the Elnas.
    I'm gonna have to crack the amp back open and have a proper gander.

    Yes, take your time and have a good surf for surpliers.
