If you had actually used the 'Search' feature of the forum, you would find that dozens of members have recapped their boards with tantalum caps and had no problems at all. Just follow the advice you're given and you'll have a happy working LC again...not hard.

@Joshua Coventry: I will take your reply as meaning that you have not noticed a difference. Your reply seems a little impatient. I never said it was difficult or hard - I repair other devices (tv's, whatever breaks, etc.). To clarify my question, I was curious about the tantalum caps because they generally have a high ESR (effective series resistance) when compared to aluminum capacitors. This would leave me to believe that the output of the audio would be (if slightly) lower than with aluminum capacitors. I was just curious as of what the members have experienced. From your reply I will take it that you have not noticed a change - or at least not one strong enough to notice.

Best,
