Solen fast caps vs ASC film/oil in PS -Which is better?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

OK,
I have a choice to make. Use Solen 100uf/630V Fast Cap or a pair of ASC 50uf/440VAC caps in my power supply. These will be placed after the second choke. I have a Solen 22uf/630 Fast Cap for the spot between the the two chokes.
Will the ASC sound a little fuller/romantic vs the Solen? The Solen is a little more expensive than a pair of ASC caps, but takes up 1/2 the space. The Unilytic caps are also a possibility here too.

I've used both in HV PSs, and altho I'm no GEA, I feel that the Solens are always a little edgy... - jeffreybehr 23:59:14 03/07/07 (0)
