lm'c Is it always OK to replace a regular electrolytic capacitor with a low
lm'c ESR version in things like the vertical and horizontal sections of a
lm'c CRT monitor or TV?

Yes, without many qualifications.


lm'c Are there any cases where low ESR electrolytics should never be
lm'c substituted?

This is now about replacing a low ESR type with a regular cap, right?
There might be but usually not. However, if it is done then a small
value low esr cap should be paralled across it to lower the impedance.
This technique is typically seen in audio amplifier supplies.
