Re: POWER SUPPLY QUESTION

jaiti, hi. If the caps now in it are electrolytic virtually anything else would be better - with one exception, Black Gate. I would also look at Unlytics (polyprop) and Solen's polyprop caps in cans. Solen makes a few values - example: 51uF at 630 V. Cerafine would be OK but production stopped some time ago. I don't think Mundorf has a lock on making good polypropylene caps. Also - don't overlook the oil caps. ASC makes some that sound very good. You can find others including paper/foil/oil. The dry polypropylene types can sound excellent. Again, with the exception to Black Gate WKZ, most electrolytics are never optimal. Often I use polyprop (dry or oil) and Black Gates in the same amp - CLC etc. Happy listening.
