Recently found out that three 4,700uF caps cost less than half of one
big 15,000uF. Wire that up in parallel and you get almost 15,000uF at
less than half the price. Are there any reasons why this is not a
good idea?

Is mid-life crisis symtom an open circuit or close circuit? For DC, a
capacitor in prime of life is open circuit anyway? If not a typo, and
Mariss is refering to AC, then I can think why 3 caps in parallel is
a good idea - one cap. gets into crisis, one still have 2 for 9,400uF?

Opinion please.
