Re: Bigger is better in my system.

Dear Al,

Thanks for your explanation again. I find your previous discussion on this topic.

http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=tweaks&n=138441&highlight=bartc&session=

You mentioned that "Please do not use an electrolytic capacitor for AC service: these are polarized and cannot withstand significant reverse voltage. They can explode if used incorrectly!"

I had some 50V, 100uF Black Gate non-polar electrolytic capacitor. Can I use them as a parallel R-C filter in the 12V secondary of the filament transformer ?

Also how many such "filament transformer AC filter" should be used in the audio system ?

Thanks.
