RE: PS caps

Hi Jeff,

You've been giving us some good advice. I appreciate it. How many men can get PJ to amend his circuit?

I found at Mouser:

WIMA

50uf 600v $25
50uf 800v $25
100uf 600v $43
100uf 800v $45

You get ten 100uf 600v for $395. Call it $400.

$43 is a boutique cap price. Clarity Cap same value, and maybe $7 bucks more, or maybe the CC isn't such a boutique price after all.

I've liked WIMAs for a long time, but I've only heard them as coupling caps. I always thought they would excell in the PS. They are perfectly good coupling caps, and what more can you say? I have a bag of .22uf 600v ones.

Would you use them in C1 position instead of a good PIO or Film in Oil? I think I would like to use the wima in the ultrapath position.

Jamie


Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
