"Audio Grade" vs "General Purpose" Capacitors for POWER SUPPLY

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audio-grade-vs-general-purpose-capacitors-for-power-supply.541894/

I would not use "Audio Grade" caps in the power supply. Power supply cap serve a different purpose. One of the main specs to look at for power supply caps is their "ripple current" spec. Caps meant for "power supply use" are built differently from "general purpose caps" just as "audio grade caps" are built differently from "general purpose caps".

How to Pick Audio Capacitors – Charrette & Beget

A typical ESR for a capacitor might be .1Ohm, whereas a low ESR model might be .01ohm.Low ESR seems to be a much touted feature for audio capacitors, especially Black Gates. Since resistance is not dependent on frequency, however, I don’t understand how ESR would have any effect on distortion in the audio signal, and I doubt you’re going to hear a difference …

Standard commercial grade capacitors that meet specification are good enough. Omit the supply rail decoupling and you have a completely different operating regime. Transients at the load demand extra current and the long supply lines prevent most of that demand being met. This is audible.

power supply - Normal capacitor vs. audio capacitor ...

I'm building a power supply for old Schoeps CMT30F microphones. Standard condenser mic are 48V-powered nowadays, but these are 60s/70s Schoeps mic from RadioFrance/ORTF, customized at that time to be -9V or -10V powered. I need to add capacitors to avoid the 9V to go in the preamp / audio interface.

I don’t see the neccesity to use audio-grade capacitors in the LPS. Additionally, this guy and some of his friends argued that LPS is essential and should improve SQ when using to power ethernet switch, and DC-powered equipments in the chain of audio system.

Polystyrene is the first choice, but are only available in values up to .001 uF. Above that value, polypropylene is the type of choice, with nearly the same qualities of dissipation factor (DF) and dielectric absorption (DA) as polystyrene (these are the two capacitor “qualities” that most affect audio applications).

Are "audio grade" power supply capacitors worth it? : diysound

The audio grade stuff usually is good at handling a wide frequency range without inducing any abnormal ringing or distortion. But hit them with alot of current for a long period of time they may fail sooner than more robust designs. Power supply capacitors usually only have to deal with one set frequency (or atleast a narrow range).
