Who has Caps on their AC lines ???


I have been playing around with caps on my AC line. After today, I don't think that I can live without them. Even with my dedicated AC lines, the one with the caps just has such a more natural sound no matter what AC power cord I place on it.

Unfortunately, I got them from a guy that I no longer speak to so I don't really know the value of the caps. Is there a way to determine the value?

I have been reading about a few members who use Auricaps, etc., and will try what they are using soon. I am also waiting on an isolation transformer to test in my system next.

I'd like to know what you are using to filter your AC lines and what you are hearing.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I used Auricaps in parallel on my AC, was a very nice tweek. Lowered the noise floor nicely. I removed them however, I wasn't comfortable having them on my AC due to the outside chance they could be a fire hazard. I have two kids and live in an apartment complex. While the chance something could happen seems to be minimal, based on my living situation it just wasn't worth it.
The ones I used were: Auricap .47 uF 600V
