Those film caps can and do sound great compared to electros in many designs. But it depends on the power supply design, design goals, and type of amp. I have used computer grade, huge can electos to great effect. They do great things for a robust and kick butt power supply. Those film caps just don't offer large enough values for some designs.
Preamps w/ polypropylene caps in power supply?
Hi,
I know that Conrad-Johnson uses polypropylene capacitors (instead of electrolytics) in their preamp power supplies.
Does anybody else do this? To be clear, I don't mean adding a polypropylene cap as a "bypass" on top of electrolytics. I mean, the only caps in the power supply are polypropylene.
Thanks!
