Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes?


These are great looking capacitors and supposed to be competing against the Audience, Rel, V-Cap, and Sonicap Teflon capacitors. A couple of my tweaky friends who have no end to new capacitors gave them a try and had one quit after a month or so, and with the wire cut off, no return possible. So they cut it open, yes they are curious, and according to them, the guts looked like mylar, measured like mylar??? Could these not be Teflon caps after all??? I open this for discussion with some of the tweaky electonic minds out there to get to the bottom of this. If they are not genuine teflon, I would not want fellow audiophiles to get ripped by another false claim. But to be fair, real verifiable data should be submitted here, no guesswork. I trust my friends, but I did not do the test, so I open it to other philes. Hey, I like a great deal too, but if it is not as advertised, I get pissed too. Take a look fellow philes, and lets solve the mystery....Jallen

The DOWNSIDE of pure copper is that it oxidizes like crazy and the resulting oxide is a diode.
Not at all how I want a capacitor to act.
What is the conductivity of BeCu? And to go all metalurigical on you, how much Beryllium is added to these alloys? I know their must be a bunch of alloys with who knows what else added.

Question: What is a good copper alloy which has low oxidation potential AND the requisite good conductivity?

Failing THAT, does anyone SEAL the cap in an inert enviroment so the copper can not oxidize?
Credibility is everything in the field of component parts. It's not realistic to expect the end user to dissect caps or other parts to confirm the materials claimed to be used. I was skeptical from day one about Psvane, Treasure and Grant Fidelity due to all this talk about sole distributor, counterfeit copies, testing and grading, etc. Now GF admits that the caps were falsely represented. Just speaking for one consumer, I will never buy anything associated with Psvane (or GF for that matter).

Couldn't agree more!
U get what u pay for. If it seems good to be true then it is.
Hong Kongers and Chinese have different definitions of ethical representation.
Look at Mingda rudoeyconn caps :)
re: Copper oxidation- Gold is the only metal foil that will not oxidize*. Any capacitor, that is designed for use in your electronic gear, will be sealed(generally hermetically), of necessity. *Nor will platinum or palladium, at room temps.
