Will it explode???

[Tony Allgood]

Hi all,

I've got a tube amp with a 485 volt HT supply. It needs a new filter
(smoothing) cap of 22uF. I've got 450V rated ones. What do you reckon,
safe or not? If not can I get hold of 500V plus capacitor without having
to do a two in series plus resistors job? Farnell, CPC and Maplin can
not supply such beasties.
