00:00Alright, so if you've ever built or repaired an amp, you already know the power supply caps
00:04can make or break the whole thing. I went down the rabbit hole looking for the best deals on
00:102200 microferas electrolytics for amplifier power supplies, and I found 5 that are honestly hard
00:15to beat. Let's get into it. Number 1 is my top pick for serious amp builds, this 8-pack of
00:22ADV
00:232200 microferas caps. They're rated for 105 degrees Celsius, so they're built for heat and
00:29long life, and the 18x35mm radial size drops straight into most powerboards. At $27.44 for
00:388, that's just over 3 bucks each, and with nearly 5000 sold and a 4.9 rating, people clearly trust
00:44them. If you want voltage headroom and reliability, start here. Number 2 is the Value King, a huge
00:51assortment that covers 2200 microferas in voltages from 35V all the way up to 450V, plus a bunch of
00:58other values thrown in. For just $2.63, it's basically a starter parts bin. If you're always
01:06tinkering with different amps and never know which voltage rating you'll need next, this
01:10one saves you from ordering caps every single week. It's got a 4.9 rating too, which is impressive
01:16for a mixed lot. Number 3 is the HX6A, a 100V, 2200 microferas aluminum radio cap for around
01:24$0.40 each. Yes, $0.40. These are the classic caps you'll find in TVs, LCD monitors, stereos,
01:33and old game consoles, and they work great for budget amp repairs and restorations. Over 4,400 sold with a
01:404.8 rating tells you they get the job done without any drama. For quick fixes, you honestly can't go
01:46wrong. Number 4 is the A21i, you get 20 pieces of 2200 microferas at 25V in a compact 13x21mm body
01:55for
01:56$4.47. That works out to roughly 22 cents a cap, which is kind of wild. The smaller footprint is
02:04perfect when your board doesn't have a lot of room, think smaller amp channels or pre-amp sections.
02:09Just keep these on the lower voltage side of the supply and they'll serve you well.
02:14And number 5 is another flexible option, a single 35x50mm cap available in 2200 microferas across
02:21voltages from 25V up to 450V, with plenty of other values too. At $4.81 it's a fair price for
02:30the
02:30bigger can size, and that larger body usually means better ripple handling and a longer service life
02:35and a power supply. It's a great replacement cap when you've actually got the space for it.
02:41So those are my top 5 2200 microferas electrolytics for amplifier power supplies,
02:46something there for every budget and every build. All the links are in the description below,
