Capacitor pricing


Before buying expensive capacitors Compare pricing for example parts connecxion 
charge $208 for a Mundorf Silver gold oil 6.8 UF, Sonicraft $168 for the same one 
parts connecxion Marks everything up , even when on sale still maybe higher priced 
shop and compare !!

I owned a Hifi shop in the U.K  for 10 years before moving back to the U.S and did many mods. The Solen capacitors unless usjng the green Teflon caps 
Are a starting off point Tony Gee of the Netherlands is a Authority on Loudspeaker building and caps and gave me good advise . check out this cap cook book it is very true and accurate,your taste may differ a bit but this is the capacitor reference book to read .he has not done VCAPS Which currently I am using 
The OIMP, fair price and a good alternative and cheaper to the Mundorf Silver oil  with better Bass.with the addition of the VH Teflon CU, .22 cap fantastic combo makes it better still.

One thing I forgot to mention the Gen1 Sonicraft cap review done VS 
The VH- OIMP  .  I can tell you without reservation this review was totally biased.
Myself and audio friend compared the two caps as well as with Jantzen  supreme and Mundorf Supreme  the VH cap was more extended on the Bottom end the VH smooth on top more sense because of thd oil on paper foil. the Sonic caps is excellent for the money and much better then stock Solen caps and excellent for the Bass ,but no way as well balanced as any of the above. It does appear very open, but jot much depth. In 2005 Enjoy thd music reviewed the VH oimp
Cap with totally different outcome. the 10-10 audio review Not accurate at all.
I stand by this statement I have been doing  mods for almost 20 years now.
In most cases you get what you pay  for. try  gor your self and give 3-400 hours
Of actual play time . 100 hours to start opening up.
Good to see you- dgarretson.

I have no problem paying for these "caps".  They make our systems sound excellent to outstanding- priceless!
