I see Console5 has a kit for the ct4540 but not for the CT4500. I'm really good at soldering when I have a kit handed to me and just learning how to select my own components. The only thing that stands out to me on this board is it uses 2 different types of 1uf 50v caps.

I found a great video on Youtube of somebody recapping the Other Awe64 Value card and he gave a parts list however those parts are also slightly different and doesn't use the 1uf caps.

Here is a basic count of all the capacitors on my CT4500. I could have miscounted a few of the common ones but I'll buy plenty of extras. Do I have to watch out for any of the caps on this board or can I just audio grade on everything if available and be safe? Normally I would get low ESR if available and that will be my default? I don't mind paying more &'m not going to split hairs on saving $20 with my time input. Can I really go wrong anywhere on this board? They are just 85c -40 caps and what I get would be better.
