I'm planning on upgrading the electrolytics in the power sections of my DAC-AH and t-amp, and I'd ideally like to replace them with higher value uF (larger size) versions.
Eg. the 2200uF caps in the DAC-AH I was thinking of swapping for some 4700uF or 8200uF caps depending on what I can get to fit.
In doing this, I may not have room for slightly larger caps unless I bend them outward from the components nearby so that they will fit - in which case the bases of the caps will probably not be making contact with the PCB.
Does this actually matter? I mean does it matter if the caps are 'suspended in mid air' supported only by the leads soldered to the PCB?
