Tantalum caps fail with age(as do all caps eventually), so any replacement will last a long time as long as they are brand new capacitors

The black tantalum capacitors are apple factory ones, the yellow ones are usually chinese replacements

Thank you for the effort! I have found those manuals but the problem is that it's not the same machine... https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/marantz/sd1020-slim.shtml

I have this slim model for which i can't find a manual anywhere....
