Hi all,
I have just completed the first run test on a Tubelab SE, I now want to upgrade the quality of capacitors in the power supply side of the project. I currently have a Panasonic 47uf 450v (the model i am unsure of ?CE(m)) and the other is a Rifa 150uF 450v in parallel with an ASC 87uF Motor run. I have used high grade caps throughout, only I think the Panasonic and Rifa may be letting the team down, any ideas? Suitable replacements?
Cheers

Heck, I would just drop the Rifa and use the Motor Run alone. Then find another appropriately sized motor run to replace the Panasonic if you need to.
If you have room for motor runs, they're generally polypropylene film, which is an excellent capacitor and much better than electrolytics.
No, not at all. The polypropylene motor run caps are good for AC or DC. Normally one would use a polarized cap because they're much smaller and cheaper for the same capacity.
Cool, so I guess the next question is are the Mundorf caps any better? Or are the ASC motor run type just as good.
