RE: Yes I looked at the data sheet

I would guess that approval and certification mean the same thing. If you blow up the photo of the cap on the link I saw first and sent there is no UL approval printing on it. Usually one is on pretty solid ground when quoting direct from the horses mouth. So you can see that I didn't make it up. Something changed. I would still be happier and it looks like Kemet agrees, with a cap that is more likely to fail in a open than in a short. Rare events. Much happier with a "better quality cap" of larger value. Your mileage may vary. Are you not the least bit curious if my opinion along with the opinion of at least the person who wrote "The Great Capacitor Shootout" has any merit from a direct experience? To get the job done? Well Kemet thinks that much larger caps get some job done in relation to EMI filtering.Why would they make them otherwise? What job I'm talking about is improvement in subjective sound quality. I've tried weird tweaks with both amazement and other respected tweaks with no perception of improvement and even degradation. But I at least gave them a shot. Hey, digits are digits,right? T456
