Computer grade parts?


What are computer grade parts.. such as Computer grade power supply caps? Are these type of parts an upgrade and/or better than audiophile grade parts? For example, I've heard some people say, "I've upgraded my power supply caps in my amp to computer grade caps". I don't think I'd want computer grade parts in my audio equipment for playing back music. Would appreciate some clarification. Thanks

These are the very large, coke can size, electrolytic caps make by companies like Mallory and Sprague. They are often used by builders who believe they sound better than smaller electrolytic caps. They do a very nice job of filtering with the right inductors.

They require more chassis space and may not fit in many applications.
