I found a cheap source of Black Gate caps, but....

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

They are only available in one size, 330uf at 25V, Black Gate F series...so, my questions are, how well does this series of capacitor react to "stacking" to increase voltage capability, and if I stack 20 of them with balancing resistors across them, will this then give me a 330uf at 500V capacitor bank?
Excuse me if I'm being stupid, but my brain doesn't really kick in until the nightime hours and by then the place that's selling the BG caps will be closed!
I was just hoping to get a high voltage capable Black Gate electrolytic bank to use in one of my next tube amp projects...
So, 7 bucks a pop for 330uf at 500V Black Gate capacitors really appeals to the cheap side of me!!
Thanks,
Rick
