Yes. Accepting their 1200VDC rating, I used the Silver/Oils in parafeed DC-blocking position...

...of my ASL Explorer 805 poweramps. This position has about 800VDC plus the AC signal Voltage on it. One opened after a month or 2; Madisound quickly replaced it. The 2nd amp's cap shorted soon afterward, almost taking the OPT with it. Madisound then quickly refunded my original purchase price for the 2. (Madisound treated me VERY well in this process.)

I then installed 1500VDC-rated auricaps, which are still running after more than a year.

If your Voltages are more than, say, 700DC, I would NOT use the Silver/Oil. However, it is a VERY-good-sounding cap in situations with less than that across it.
