Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read


This is just a great review of various caps out there. I was so happy someone showed me this link I wanted to share it here:

The author mentions he got scooped by Arthur Salvatore regarding V-caps. Salvatore's is another great site you should check out. http://www.high-endaudio.com

The author is a very good friend of mine. I'm not sure why his name is not used in the article; he's only referred to in references like "him", etc. I'll ask him if he wanted things this way, or if it's OK for me to mention his name here on Audiogon.

Again, as he states, one should take the evaluation in the context it was performed - in a high end audio preamplifier. The capacitors used in other applications (such as a loudspeaker crossover) can yield different results.

Overall, I must state the obvious - it's probably the definitive guide to capacitors put forth in the hobby. He certainly deserves all the credit we can give him - BRAVO!!!
I love the way he describes his feelings about getting scooped by Salvatore! Is he the mad scientist type?

And yes...BRAVO!
Great review!! I guess all the talk I heard about the V-cap is true.
Thanks for the link! outstanding !
Nice review. I have saved it for when I might find some flex-time of my own to study it.
Here are a few other good comparisions of caps. They deal with crossovers.
