can mundorf supreme caps be used for AC filtering

Hi I have some mundorf supreme caps rated at [.047] 600v , can these be safely used in AC filtering without fire risk ? I know that shunyata and audience use cap filtering in there line conditioning products. between negative and positive, not ground. thanks, Chris

Yes, I do it and it works great. Lots more detail in the music that I was never able to hear before. The 600 volt rating is well over the 120 volts of house AC.

I think you can do better with an Alan Maher filter. The single cap filter you are addressing is bandwidth-limited.
