2 Farad Capacitor Recommendation

[WiNnErPL 10+ year member]

Hey guys I got an issue. My cousin in Poland insists that a capactior will help him play his systemf or an extended period of time and he really wants one. I told him that from what I've read is that they're not worth it and won't fix his issue. He still insists that people in his area are using them and they help. So whatever if he'll pay for it he'll get it. He asked me to get one though since it's cheaper here in US and I'm going to Poland soon.

Q:

1. Is a capacitor worth the $100-$150? (my guess is a no)

2. Which one do youi guys recommend (He's looking for 1.5-2 farad ones)?

Thanks in advance

A cap is a cap.

Just pick one based on the label on it.
