Rubycon ZL series.
- I meant what capicitance of 'lytic caps you got now? (nt) - cheap-Jack 11:32:46 11/13/07 (4)
  HI.
  
  Rubycon makes excellent 'lytic caps, including Black Gates which are considered by many tube/SS builders king of caps.
  
  In fact, I've & am using wideband fastspeed 'lytic caps made by Rubycon for my tube HV filters: 80uF-160uF 330V. They all sound very fast & transparent.
  
  Who said 'ltyic caps sound crappy ????

      Hi.
      
      Since you already got both banks built. Just try them both & see if you could hear the difference. IMO, I doubt yu could.

        I only have one 1500mf bank built for now.That's why I posted to get opinions on the matter.That's a lot of caps Granpa!!

        Hi.
        
        A cap in theory would be pure capacitive. But any realworld cap is a very complex AC network comprising series & parallel resistance DCR, inductance L & capacitance C. So by parallel multi caps, the resultant impedance of the cap bank would be reduced due to reduced internal DCRs & inductances vs a single cap of same size.
        
        If an amp with 1.4 million uF 'lytic caps in parallel can give 0.8uS rise time as I posted above, why you worry?
