Hi guys,
I am currently building the Aleph 2 and are currently considering what to use for filter capacitors.
Can anyone advise if it is better to use multiple capacitors, say 10 - 15 x 10,000 +- rather than say 4 x 20,000 +-. for channel.
I assume that bigger hi voltage caps would have good ripple current rating, but on the other hand a number of smaller caps in parrellel may offer lower ESR at hi frequencies and similar ripple rating.
Is this correct?
If I use smaller but many what is the best way of wiring them up?
I ask this as I have found useful quantities on ebay.
Any comments for recommendations would be welcome.
regards
macka
