The high voltage rating implies that the dielectric between plates of the capacitor is thicker. I think that there is some grounds to suspect that the capacitor might sound different (maybe better). Certainly the cost was higher.
Are 450VDC Solen Caps the wrong choice?
Im upgrading the caps in an old pair of Marantz Speakers. Each speaker uses (2) 10uf 50VDC and (1) 33uf 60VDC Culver caps. I bought Solen caps to replace them with ( same values, ie 10uf and 33uf), but noticed they are rated for 450VDC. Is this a good thing or bad. Cost is not an issue and even though the Solens are physically much larger its not an issue.Would I be better off with caps rated at 250 VDC? I want to go with the Solen. It seems all quality metallized polypropylene are either 250 or 450 VDC. Speakers are rated at 250 watts RMS max , amp puts out 125 wpc . THANKS for any help.
