In the Thread: Additive capacitance: mixing oils and films?
Post Subject: You had to tell that they’re undervoltagedPosted by Romy the Cat on: 6/27/2007
Dan, those 1000V caps must not be used under any circumstances, even they are with Vitamin Q impregnation. Even the 400V cap is too bad for speaker level and you need to go for 100V caps. The film caps with excessive voltage are not good but they sound more or less OK, however the oil caps with excessive voltage are horrible. In fact the old cap should be use at very max of their voltage, even with a near excessive voltage. The cap will be fine as the oil will self-heal the conductor. The Hovlands are very zippy caps and it is why the Morons love them in audio. It is possible that within very dull sounding undervoltaged Vitamins the present of the Hovlands you found beneficial…. But why do not use a normally sounding cap in the first place?
