Upsizing Capacitors


Gents, what kind of best practices do you have on upsizing capacitors? Capacitance, voltage - sometimes where necessary due to availability, but also which ones do you normally try to upsize if you had the choice?

People spend months or years designing amps and other people who think they know better want to "improve" on the design. Where's the facepalm emoji? Sheesh.

I used a car analogy in another thread, have always had the same logic on auto "upgrades". Take wheels for example, somewhere you have an engineer who dedicated their LIFE to the field and maybe months/years on any specific car only to have someone think they know better - it's a valid point!

On circuit design, absolutely. What prompted my post is every other capacitor DIY story, we have people increasing capacitance! On average, more negatives than positives (pun totally intended)..
