Please recommend bypass caps for use with new 15k main caps

[scottrt]

So I am putting new Nichicon KG Gold 15,0000uf main caps in my AU-717, and figured I would use fresh bypass caps.

The originals bypass caps are Metalized polypropylene 2.2uf 100 volt units.

Should I just use the same type and rating, or is there something better suited these days.....

OK, so you are saying jump up to a 250 volt rated cap, keep uf value stock.

Thanks,
Scott

Not necessarily, it's just that those are good caps and that is the lowest value that they come in. I think they should work fine. I typically use a bypass cap 1/10,000th the size of the cap I am bypassing so in this case it would be a 1.5uF but if the manufacturer had a 2.2uF in there I would do that too - I am not an engineer by any means
