I used to run caps, now I just let them collect dust in my garage

And give ya something to think about. If they are so bad, then why use them inside the amps and computers??? Also they are meant to oppose a change in voltage... Kinda like a 2nd battery...

The cap (when playing music) will let the voltage come from it first (during heavy notes) then the battery but due to its low ESR and low current needs it charges almost immediately. During (weak notes) it will sip off the battery even ing its self off while the amps feed off the cap.
Its kinda an average thing.
Read the article with the RF 15kW cap/amp. It ran the 15,000W amp off of a 10 ga once charged. All because of the cap.
