Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ?


Does anyone know the approximate lifetime of these capacitors ?
I have not been able to find this information and the derating curves with temperature anywhere.

Please do NOT respond if you believe fuses or cable lifters or cable burn in makes a difference to the sound.

Thanks

I have your answer, but cannot share based on the truth of how those other realities matter as much as your need for an answer.

Check back in 20 years. Perhaps someone will have a personal experience to share. 

Otherwise, enjoy some nice music till then.

Well I know the answer but after reading your second paragraph I’ll not respond to your question directly. I will respond I don’t understand what the lifespan of a capacitor has anything to do with the other. Good luck.

Hey,

See the film capacitor calculator here:

But so long as you keep them near ambient temperature, they should outlive us all.


Best,

Erik
