[Amps] PARALLEL CAPS IN OUTPUT

["Bill and Liz" <magoo@isp.ca>]

I read some time ago where W8JI had employed two mica "snubber" caps of 500 pf 
each in parallel to give added C in the loading of a TL-922 amp he was 
repairing.  As far as I can discover, these are rated at only 1000V each.  Most 
of the doorknob caps I have seen in various amps are rated at 5 or 7 KV.  Is 
this voltage rating overkill?  Should these mica snubber caps not be run in 
series for safety?
