one large cap, or a few added up?

Is there any way to break-in new caps without having to have them installed in my speakers. It seems that they will need 100 to 500 hours before they are "right". That's a lot of time! Could I just wire them up in parallel and plug them in the AC outlet for a few weeks?

You might want to be a bit more civilized. Try this:(http://phonoclone.com/diy_rack.html) Read the last line, as you will be dealing with non-polarized caps(forgive his spelling).

Thanks for all the responses. I think I will be going with 5 Clarity SA 24uf caps in parallel for a combined total of 120uf. I will hold off on a bypass cap because there seeme to be two camps on this. I will try it without bypass for a while, then get some, and see which way I prefer.

Thanks to all... John
