What can be done about filter caps going over their voltage ratings when an amp first turns on?
Is it necessarily bad for a 16uf 475V cap to drift upwards to ~500V for 10 seconds or so at start up?
The only thing I can think to do is install a totem of two caps to handle this as it is done in many amps.
