Guest Ruach Report post Posted December 26, 2003 Alternatively, one can use film capacitors such as Solens (cheap, but huge) and Auricaps ($$$) in place of electrolytic ones. Results should be much better Yes. But some applications require a large e-cap. So it's better to use the better films to bypass a good e-cap. I wanted to dump a 50uF Solen in the cd player but did not due to space limitations The second best solution would be to bypass with good film caps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ruach Report post Posted December 26, 2003 (edited) i tried that shop, they say they don't carry "japanese caps" NO elna NO blackgates Well Audio stocks Cerafines and Blackgates. I bought some from Frankie (the shopowner). You cannot find Silmics there though Edited December 26, 2003 by Ruach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
