Power Amplifier Longevity

Show me one piece of information in the following that indicates reduction of capacitance with its voltage rating:

Remember I am talking max voltage RATING not the voltage APPLIED.

As for inrush current limiters, MOST devices sold today do **NOT** have such current limiters.

All of our equipment has had current inrush limiters installed, going back 45 years. We did this to protect the AC power switches and over the years its worked out pretty well.

Hey atmasphere, good to hear your equipment has them.  Almost all transformers rated above about 300 VAs should have them but most do not.  Expensive gear is obviously better designed and it does.
Thanks

heaudio, I am sorry but you are not making any sense in your capacitance stuff.  Noone is APPLYING the higher voltage.  The voltage is FIXED at the rails.  The ONLY time it moves UP is when there is a surge.  The overvoltage RATING of the capacitor simply is able to absorb the extra max voltage which spikes so it does not blow the cap.  That is why I prefer the voltage rating to be high so that it indeed CAN absorb spikes.

There will be NO change whatsoever in the capacitance of a cap becoz of its voltage rating or by changing the applied voltage to it (unless temperature becomes an issue).

And the thermistors are NTC btw:

They have to be since they must settle to a LOW value with HIGHER temps otherwise you would never be able get more than quarter of the power of the amp since the current would be limited ALL the time.
A better (but more expensive) way of doing this would be using relays with a timer of course.
