Which capacitor is best for power supply?
Aluminum-electrolytic capacitors, such as the EPCOS B43504 or B43505–in voltage ratings from 40 to 450 Vdc and capacitance values from 220 to 150,000 µF–are typically used.
What are audio grade electrolytic capacitors?
Audio grade capacitors are specifically optimized for high end audio applications, and offer higher performance in audio circuits than standard components. The types of capacitors that are commonly used in audio circuits are aluminum electrolytic and film capacitors.
Which capacitors are recommended for better performance?
Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer the highest stability and lowest losses. They have high tolerance and accuracy and are more stable with changes in voltage and temperature. Class 1 capacitors are suitable for use as oscillators, filters, and demanding audio applications.
What are audio grade capacitors?
How do I choose a capacitor for my amp?
A: The rule of thumb is to put in 1 Farad of capacitance for every 1,000 watts RMS of total system power. But there is no electronic penalty for using larger value caps, and in fact, many see benefits with 2 or 3 Farads per 1,000 watts RMS. The larger the cap, the more charge is available for the amp when it needs it.

How to pick audio capacitors?
Low Impedance: Impedance is composed of two parts,resistance and reactance.
Can you used other type of capacitor instead of electrolytic?
No, there are various properties of each type that determine where they should be used. For example, an Electrolytic capacitor is polarized, so it can’t be used as the AC blocking cap. Mylar capacitors have poor high frequency performance, so they may be ineffective as bypass caps, and ceramic caps can cause distortion if not properly derated for voltage/bias.
