voltage ratings. Some say to use caps that are rated 5 volts higher than the operating voltage. Counterpoint used to do and look at their failure rates in the power supplies too. Also this was the same in my EDGE amp that lead to a cap in the power supply failing. I used 100vdc caps where the power supply voltage was 50vdc. Still has that great sound my amp had before and my even bettered it.I always use capacitors that are 15, 20, or even 50 volts higher than the power supply voltages and same for rail voltages. I have never heard any difference compared to caps rated just 5 volts higher than the power supply voltage
I just want a longer lasting and safer unit. 5 volts under the caps rated voltage is too close for me.
