Reservoir caps.

Need some replacement reservoir caps for a power amp. Nothing special -
just 10,000uF at 63v. RS have them from about 4 quid to about 50.
Old amp so not PCB mounted - just wires to them and plenty space so not
restricted to an identical part - which isn't made now anyway.
Best make to go for? Is a 50 quid one really worth it?
The two parameters to look at that tend to impact on price are
1)ripple current (@ 100Hz in your application I expect) which relates to
ESR
and
2) life expectancy at whatever temperature you will be running at.
I tend to stick to mid price known brands -Epcos - (ex Siemens) have not
knowingly given problems - never had one back in equipment that I've
used them in and sold on to others.
