In Reply to: Sprague Atom 20mfd/600VDC rated caps posted by FenderLover on November 26, 2014 at 02:56:50:
You are right, those 600 volt rated Atoms are painfully expensive. I use the 450 v and 500 v Atoms mostly. Sprague seems to keep the same qualities up and down the voltage rating of the Atom line. What that tells you is that the 600v caps are simply more expensive to manufacture. That is why cheaper caps fail at +500 volts. Consider them an insurance policy.
I will use a Solen 630v as a first cap to take the beating and heal. I will also either use a vacuum tube rectifier or use a 20% voltage standby switch with silicon diodes. I hate the screaming. I need to silence the lambs.
