Power Filtration
« on: 11 Jul 2005, 07:49 am »
I am thinking about adding some filter caps across +ve and neutral line on the switched output of the power switch on my 55N+'s, like the VH Audio type idea. I am using a DPDT switch that switches both +ve and neutral.  

Some sites recommend Auricaps or such for this application and others recommend an X2 rated cap.  If I have a fuse before the switch, what is the danger or risk of using an "audiophile" cap (600VDC or 800VDC) for this application?

Is filtration just prior to the transformers a worthwhile addition or am I being very pedantic?  

Bear in mind I have not finished my amps, so don't have the option yet of listening before and after, because I am still at the before stage, but would like to incorporate all mods up-front to avoid too many rebuilds.
