RE: A Discharged Cap is a Short Circuit to DC

Yes, I thought about a pre-charge using a resistor as an alternative to wiring it permanently into the system, or perhaps a switch so that one could switch the resistor into the circuit for charging then switch it out for normal operation.

Don't know if it would affect the operation as there's not a complete circuit to the connected gear so no current should flow to the gear anyway, so added resistance in the + leg should have no effect.

I suppose I could try it with and without the resistor and see if I hear a difference. It's a simple enough experiment, and one I can probably perform in the next week or two when I get time.
