In Reply to: Avoid using, and replace all, Wima caps (wherever I find them). posted by spindrifter on May 1, 2010 at 21:05:44:
I've experimented with several types of AC-rated (both X and Y) capacitors for noise suppression. The Wima MP3 (metallized paper) give far superior results to any other type or manufacturer I've tested. Rifa makes metallized paper suppression caps, but these give a harsh sonic result. Synthetic dielectric films all have strong sonic flavors that are obvious when removed.
While there may be better caps for sonic results, it is absolutely necessary in my view to use only caps rated for AC line exposure. The risk of fire is too great to do otherwise.
What caps do you find superior for AC noise suppression, and how do you load them with resistors?
