Has anyone here had experience using the new Electrofilm high value 
capacitors. They are like electrolytics, non polar, and go 2X beyond 
the old 450 VDC working voltage barrier.

I see one rated 120 uF @ 1 kVDC for $128 US!!!!
Another is 7.5 uF @ 1200 V for $14.

Price is outrageous, but for a compact power supply, it might be 
worth it. A typical voltage doubler pack for a SSB amp would shrink 
by half or more, maybe.
