Hi i found this link http://www.electronics-diy.com/pdf/ELNA_SILMIC_II_Audio_Capacitors.pdf Audio electrolytic capacitor! wow does anyone tried this caps? hows the price is it worth?

I don't know why, but anytime I see "Oxygen free copper" the bullsh&t alarm starts going off in my head.

audio ones are very very pricey.....

what do you mean ? heheh cant understand :_)

its pricey maybe because its 4700uf? ) how about 2 uf? we use 2 uf,100uf 47uf and 22 uf in diy alot maybe that thing can help noise problem?

Erm...

Silk fiber "separate" (I assume they mean dielectric) to reduce the music's "vibration energy".... whaatt? How does fiber pliability = great sound? What is high and low "compass"? Oxygen-free copper leads for low distortion?


Looks like typical snake oil...

IMO any passive part that specifically touts itself as an audio-specific component is probably served to you with a lot of BS. If you want a high quality capacitor, just search up high quality capacitors - remember quality comes in many different forms, you need to know exactly what characteristics you actually want... qualityified. Lifespan, reliability, ESR... Chances are though, there is absolutely zero reason for you to do so, as cheap capacitors are going to serve you fine in the part of the electronics world we (as a forum) occupy.

Wow thanks! maybe we dont need this expensive one!
