Dear Pass Labs fans,
A few days ago I received my Panasonic 47000uF / 50V caps for my Aleph 5 project.
Now I'm wondering if it is useful to match them for each channel. The theory behind my question is that a difference in capacitance would result in a difference in rail-ripple voltage and thus an output distortion.
The PSU I plan to build will look like the picture below:
Am I totally wrong here or would this really make a difference? :confused:
Thank you in advance,

I wouldn't bother unless the ripple voltages on the
rails were really different. |

If you parallel enough pieces the variations in value will average out, anyway.

First of all thats for your support. I'll see what happens when I connect them ;)
Placing a lot of them in parallel is not an option (47.000uF remember?). But with a much smaller capacitance that would be an option.

PS: I expect to publish my whole story and pics of my amp soon... Finaly after 1 year of thinking and searching for cheap components. :cannotbe: :) |

soon is a great word :D for me i think

Question: Could you tell where you bought these
Panasonic 47000uF / 50V
And also where to find these enclosures...

I bought the caps at Farnell.
They cost about €32,00 each.
I obtained the enclosure on the picture for free at the University of Twente, where I study Electrical Engeneering. It contained some RCL filters for experiments. A lot of old devices are thrown away these days. You don't hear me complaining about it. ;) |
