PS what sort of amp would/could fail to support blueray?

One that doesn't have HDMI... A nine year old AV amp just predates
HDMI 1.0 which came out in Dec 2002.

A graceful failure into hum is almost certainly down to dead or dying
reservior capacitors.

80v is a bit of a odd rating, 63v or 100v are the normal ones.

CPC have:
CA05298 10kuF 100v £17.03
CA05334 10kuF 100v £15.01 "computer grade" higher ripple current
capability than the above.
