Watched a video of a guy having to change every electrolytic cap in a 
behringer mixer because they were literally all bad in some way. Now I'm 
working on a samson 16 channel mixer. Upon opening it I see numerous 
electrolytic caps that are physically falling apart or with signs of getting 
ready to pop.

I really hope that modern synths built by certain companies are not using 
these substandard caps. I'm now replacing hundreds of xyz caps with 
Panasonic.
