Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: Thanks, any suggestions

Michael Percy shows 100 WVDC 1 μF. MultiCap RTX (polystyrene) parts for $20.25 each. Only PTFE (teflon) is more transparent than polystyrene and PTFE might never run in at low voltages.

For the 10 μF. positions, I suggest you keep what is already in situ and add 200 WVDC 1 μF. PPFX-S MultiCap bypass parts. Percy charges $18.15 each for them. Bypassing metalized polypropylene (MKP) parts with discrete polyproplylene film and foil parts is (IMO) a good way to obtain a high performance level for large capacitance values, without risking bankruptcy.

The way MultiCap parts are constructed yields extremely low ESR and ESL values.

"Excess" WVDC does no harm, but reusing the parts at their rated voltage in the future may not end well.
