I have a dealer that has been looking for a long time for paper in oil caps for my speaker. The particular caps are probably 70 years old or so. They can last a very long time, and some vintage caps do deliver sonically.
Boutique caps in oil... reliable?
Hi Everyone,
Just kind of openly curious. On occasion I will read a post here or there that a boutique film cap which uses oil as a dielectric has leaked (i.e. failed).
Just wondering when it comes to these high end oil impregnated (or maybe even wax!) caps what your experience has been with long term reliability.
Thanks!
Erik
