Default Source Of Capacitors?


"Trevor Wilson"


**Depends on the capacitor. For most types of capacitors, you'll have no
problem. Electrolytics are a different matter. They should always be
operated at some large percentage of their rated Voltage (say: at least
70%). Otherwise they may depolarise and the value could shift
dramatically.



** Shame about the MILLIONS of electros used in audio equipment as coupling
caps that have no DC bias on them.
