It may not have been the voltage. I have found that the AN and Jensen PIO caps are very sensitive to the thermal environment. I have not had any problems with preamp applications, but if you use them in a tube power amp they HAVE to be away from any close proximity to tubes. They will begin to develop DC leakage and eventually fail.
