Hi Alex !
this project looks extremely serious. I am sure the result will be fantastic.
I have only place the new Nichicon FGand i have already risked to ruing the pcb during the desoldering of the original caps
I am using exactly this desoldering pump here ...

it could be that i am using a too big nozzle
... because the small holes for caps on the pcb remained closed by the solder
I have to look for different nozzle sizes.
I have to say instead that for bigger parts it works quite ok and it is very handy.
I will wait for your pictures before doing anything.
However the sound was good already in the stock version
and still good after the caps replacement.
... but better is always better.
Thanks a lot for disclosing your expertise and projects.
Kind regards, gino
I hope my XM-U8 will sound as aspected, we will see
I think the nozzle indeed is too big, hope you can find a smaller one!
I will post complete modifying project when finished
Regards,
Alex
