Re: Parallel Caps in Power Supply

I would guess that film and foil with its massively greater amount of metal would be more active and beneficial.

As the metalized caps are inexpensive, you can try both and learn a lot in the process. I have had a large collection of film caps for many years and always find a use for them sooner or later.

If your 390uF caps are in parallel, then there really is no distinction between one and the other. Are they in a +/- config? Then you need two bypass caps. I am totally unfamilar with this gear (link?).

Don't ignore improved wires and connectors. Clean PS cap terminals and CB board contact points if they are attached with screws.
