Re: Magnan AC filter tweak

Chris

A single .47uf and .01uf bypass if the min amount for this filter project. You can fine tune the filter by increasing the number of bypass caps. When I make the filter I use the older 40uf model using two 20uf caps. I use two bypasses to support the main caps. The additional bypass caps open up the mids and top end detail.

Good luck finding 10uf x-caps....so if you decide to use polypropelene metallized caps make sure you keep the voltage at around 600v for safety and only use caps that have been tested. I have seen a lot of caps at 600v heat up and smoke after a few days...so be careful.
