Aikido Revised Output Capactitors

The following table is updated to use the 100 K resistor to ground for the output RC part.

Frequency C R V-Cap Price
1 Hz 1.59 uF
100 K US$251.99 (300V) 1.5uF
3.3 Hz 0.48 uF 100 K
US$139.99 (600V) 0.47uF
5 Hz 0.32 uF 100 K
US$114.99 (600V) 0.33ufF
10 Hz 0.16 uF 100 K
US$72.99 (600V) 0.15uF
150 Hz 0.011 uF 100 K
US$34.99 (600V) 0.01uF
180 Hz 0.008 uF 100 K
n/a
200 Hz 0.008 uF 100 K
n/a

With the revised output impedance of 100K, it makes the the cost equation a little more sensible. The table below shows if the R is changed to 1M.

Frequency C R V-Cap Price
1 Hz 0.16 uF
1 M US$72.99 (600V) 0.15uF
3.3 Hz 0.048 uF 1 M
US$44.99 (600V) 0.047uF
5 Hz 0.032 uF 1 M
US$41.99 (600V) 0.033uF
10 Hz 0.016 uF 1 M
US$36.99 (600V) 0.015uF
