Part number DCM472U75AH2B is a higher voltage and MFD rating and is still only 19 bucks each, a good bargan next to the 46 dollar ones. These caps are a bit smaller in diameter so you wil have to rap them with some tape and card board to get the clamp to sung back up on them. The higher MFD rating will give more punch when the amp is played loud, plus give less idle hum noise. Report message to a moderator

Senior Member If I replace the caps with new ones, I will up to 4 times the original Mfd rating. NEVER go lower on the voltage rating but higher is better. Size and price increase as the voltage rating goes up. I also buy new mounting clamps, (pretty cheap actually), and drill and mount the new clamps. The older Mallory were short and large diameter and the new ones are generally taller and smaller in diameter. That is why I buy new mounts. Nothing wrong with taping the new ones but I think it's a bit more professional to do it correctly. Conrad Report message to a moderator

A pair of the larger 4500mf x 50 volts, and a pair of the smaller 2500mf x 50vdc. The larger one's came out of a rack mount kustom monitor amp and the smaller one's came out of a kustom mixer. pleat.
