Your recommendation for a phantom blocker? 47uF/100V ?

What's the obsession with the higher voltage rating ? It
only relates to oxide depth on the ali film AIUI.

AFAIK running a cap near its rated voltage has negative effects on its life.
I'd be more comfortable with a phantom blocking cap that was rated at 63 or
100 volts, than one that was rated at 50 volts.

I say this knowing that I own any number of pieces of equipment that have 50
volt phantom blockers and have led a long and happy lives. I know that some
manufacturer's 50 volt electrolytics will outlast other manufacturers 100
volt parts in this application.
