Cap 'type/series' information needed. I'm replacing the larger
electrolytic caps on the last amp and power supply. I have F and WVDC
specs, but what are all these other things; ripple, low
impedance ...? Looking at Panasonic. Are the FC series ok to use?
Thank you.

Any of 'em will do. For sure, get the 105C rated caps, not the 85C. This
will extend the life of the capacitor given that the inside of an amplifier
is a toasty environment. Low impedance is good, it means more of the power
gets through the cap and less is dissipated as heat. You don't really need
to worry about ripple in this application. Some caps are built tougher to
withstand higher ripple, your line voltage won't need this.
