My point is that a 100 nF ceramic in general filters better than a 1nF, and a 100 µF tantalum stores charge better than a 0.1 µF one.

#10199 I still wasn't able to test the small caps. Yesterday I drove to the next store and bougth some 500pF and some 1000pF ceramic caps. Now I see, that you wrote about 100nF (=100000pF) in another answers. I read this to late, so I'll try the 1nF ceramics at the weekend and will report if I had success.

And yes, the 470 µF caps are electrolytic caps. So there's a difference between the caps I'm using.
