One of the questions I keep finding myself asking is whether ceramic's are an ok option for the by-pass/26 plate section. Someone mentioned that the DC going through these caps will lower their capacitance. I would imagine the peak voltage would not be higher than 350V or so. These caps, while rated at .1 MFD, are reading out of the circuit as .080. Close enough. But what happens when DC is applied to them, would they go lower than .080 disrupting the capacitance that is suppose to be within this section of the circuit? The caps are rated to 500V. Maybe I am being a little over critical?
