I've heard of several of these Taiwan made inferior caps, being stuffed into legitimate, well-known 'lytics. (in other words, Counterfeits).

Even seen sliced open a "Mallory" to find a tiny replaced junky unit. Sorry to heighten your paranoia. But, if you have early cap failure on a brand new amp...

Try to have a good weekend!
