Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Here is a stupid need of DIY audio level. As many of you know am big lover of Nichicon electrolytic capacitors, even their lowers grade sounds right to me and never made to think about anything better. Still the Nichicon never stopped to surprise me.

In Super Milq I have a first caps in the B+ of the first stage supply. It is 100uF, nothing special. I use usually regular LK line, which is base commercial grade. However, I make a stupid mistake and instead of 450V put there 250V/100uF cap. The voltage after the bridge is 440V with 115V on primary. Now I have much high voltage in mains that make on secondary 475V… and it is all loaded after a choke with 73 DCR to a …250V capacitor? So, what do you think happed when I connected it? Well, it is not only nothing happened but…. I realized that it was running like this for a week!!!! Wow!!! The heat off to the Nichicon Corporation and their capacitors!
