New 6DJ8 + EL84 push-pull amp

Just received some 0.47 uF foil/film caps for this project. Took this picture next to a 10 uf Audyn Q4 for size comparison.

That is the difference +230V rating can make. 1kV rated caps are massive. I have some ASC 5uF 600V caps, and they are 1” dia x 3” long.

Then look at dielectric types. Polystyrene caps are huge! 4.7uF ‘styrenes are about 1.25” diameter and 3” long, but only at 100V.

But enough of my off topic….
