Report Review for product Capacitor - CE Mfg., 525V, 30/20/20/20 μF

You are reporting the following product review:

This is the filter capacitor used in the Dynaco amps, the "showiest" capacitor in the amp i am building. I was happy to find it here, it looks good, just be aware if you are using it in a Dynaco or Sunn clone the wall voltages are slightly higher now than they were in the 60s so it can get pushed pretty close to its 525v rating. Just to be safe i dial down the voltage with a Variac but I have heard some people say it is no problem, while others have found that the modern wall voltage can shorten the capacitor's lifespan somewhat
