But since the capacitor values are all being increased, is it not an option
simply to add conventional electrolytic capacitors in parallel to the SMT
ones, as the photos on the Russian website appear to illustrate? That is
something most people would be capable of doing, and could be especially
attractive to those of us in Europe for whom the total cost of the board
swap will amount to a lot more than $65.
