I thought you were stateside for some reason. The MLA2500 is
from the same capacitor manufacturer, but has less C if I'm not
mistaken.
The best thing to do is measure the actual stock layout of an
amplifier accused of switch failures from parasitics.
Maybe someone domestically (besides me) can do that. I'd do it,
but I'm sure accusations would fly. Actually that happened when
the suppressors were measured. When the conclusion by N7WS
didn't go the way one person expected he extracted parts of the
data and changed the conclusions.
The correct unedited conclusions are on N7WS's web page.
