RE: Elna Silmic II capacitor life

Yo Dan,the rating is 1000 hours at 85C in application and doubles for every 10C cooler so let's see how long they will last at 35C, 95F since some like it hot. 75C=2000hrs,65C=4000 hours,55C=8000 hours,45C=16,000 hours,35C=32,000 hours. 25C=77F=64,000 hours. I'll take 32.000 to 64,000 hours with the Silmic before hundreds of thousands of hours with inferior sounding caps any lifetime. Just change them every 64,000 hours, or a bit before just to be safe.


So let us stop talkin' falsely now, the hour's getting late --
