Where to get high voltage/capacitance polyprop caps for PSU's?

[Bas Horneman]

I got these (haven't tried them yet)...but like that they are compact: https://www.digikey.nl/en/products/detail/kemet/C4AQLBW5700A3LK/8345969

Those look good, some nice values on them too! 170uF at 500VDC

time.eu seems to supply Miflex caps in their website.

I got these for my GM70 amps.

or look for item B32320I1666K000

at this price it is surely not worth the hassle of putting electrolitics in series with heat producing equaliser resistors.....

at 450V DC there is something nice like these:

Allied has ASC X386S series caps. Maybe something like this will work for you:

x2. these are very nice caps which give a smooth touch to the sound.

Look for Audoiphiler MKP capacitors on Aliexpress. There are several other similar brands.

Depends on what sound you seek.diff power supply caps will flavor the sound. Clarity tc 2 are a good start.

This is a board i did for a friends GM70 amplifier. With 200uF 1KV caps from: https://www.electronicsurplus.it/en...or-ISKRA-MKP-KNG1914-metallized-polypropylene

Thanks for that link! I love surplus stores 🙂

Some brute force in the PS, anyone?

I have a footprint for those caps in Eagle if anyone needs it.

You can de-solder those caps from the board if you first tin the pads with SnPb and put the board on a hot plate.

Radials here, good stuff-

As a rule I avoid the "hi-fi" specific stuff as it's generally just marked up more than the quality would suggest compared to good industrial stuff.

In my experience DC-link caps are the best power supply caps around. I’d strongly recommend the new TDK B32320I series cylindrical DC-link caps that Lingwendil linked to. They are available from 6,5 uF to 260 uF at up to 1300V and are considerably cheaper than other DC-link caps. If you live in Sweden ordering from Mouser is very easy. If you spend more than 400 SKr shipping is free. Swedish VAT is added at ckeckout (you pay VAT wherever you buy from, in the EU the seller country's VAT). Mouser takes care of all the formalities and the shipment will arrive at your doorstep within a week.
