Hey guys,
Researching recapping several pieces of my vintage gear (some working perfectly, some not) and I keep seeing that electrolytics are still being used in the power supplies as opposed to the fancier film and poly caps like I have used in Audio section or speaker crossovers.
Why are electrolytics still preferred in power supplies and not poly caps which have a longer shelf life?
