Electrolytic VS Film Power Supply Filter Capacitors!!!
Hello again. I am looking to lean from all the very creative minds here in this amazing community!!!
I have a Ceriatone Expression tube guitar amplifier, and I want to upgrade all the components in it, starting with the Power Supply Filter Capacitors!
I recently read about Film capacitors for power supply filtering instead of Electrolytic's.
I have great respect for the tube amp builders here. I have a question for you, concerning the power supply filter capacitors being Polarized, the Film filter capacitors above are not Polarized can they be used as power supply filter capacitors in a tube guitar amp?
If a Film capacitor can be used, will a Film capacitor provide higher storage capacity with better response along with better specifications than an Electrolytic in a guitar tube amplifier?
Here are the Film capacitors that Nick from
https://www.hificollective.co.uk sent me:
1. 47uF/500v Obbligato Power Supply Series Capacitor -

Nick, will be sending me information on his recommendations for high quality high storage capacity Electrolytic!!!
