Is the large amount of concern about capacitor quality still valid ?

Is there any evidence that Japanese caps are a lot better than Chinese brands in 2023 ?

I know it has that Cybenetics Siler++ but still a bronze. I would only consider a Platinum or Titanium at this point.

Highly disappointing on the quality of the caps. There was a time TUF branding meant higher quality components for longevity. Now it's just a sales tag with no meaning.

Yes. They are still made of paste. Paste, barrier, and sealing are NOT the same. Compare a RMx or Seasonic which come with 10 year warranties. They are 100% Japanese capacitors. Kind of says a lot.
