a1200 recap and audio caps
just done the recap using a set from amiga store eu. the audio caps are polarised. I'm now reading posts saying this is wrong. is it worth worrying about? is the same prob present on the cd32?

If they're connected the correct way around there isn't an issue. The issue on the CD32 is that the silkscreen print is wrong for those capacitors, meaning many units have them connected backwards. But the capacitors themselves don't need to be non-polarized. Standard electrolytics are fine because there's a DC bias on the audio at that point that means they're never subjected to reverse polarity voltage. Don't worry about people scaremongering about it requiring non-polarised capacitors - they probably haven't actually looked at the signals involved.
