this has prob been asked before but couldnt find anything in the search functon. i ordered caps before from futurlec and they were wima's. but it didn say on the site which series they were. on Banzai they have a tonne of diff wima caps! MKP, MKS etc etc!! what are people using?

also they have MKT caps and they're pretty cheap! is there much diff between those and the wima? much higher quality? or the panasonic SMF?

i want to get good quality caps but dont wanna pay too much! some of the wimas are 80c! id pay that for a guitar amp but its a bit much for a stompbox! can anybody recommend which are good brands and what series? i know people go for film caps but thats as far as i now!

would appreciate any input!!

ps, mictester, i know you believe cap type doesnt make a diff!!

haha yeah might aswel get it out of the way!

So no tips anyone? I think i have one or two at home and im sure they prob have the series marked on em but im away from home at the moment and dont know when il be back. its been two weeks since iv been home n dunno when il get back again but want to order some parts!

I've got quite a few Wima box caps but I don't even know what series they are. I also believe that capacitors can affect the sound of a circuit but I'm more likely to experiment with different types of caps rather than different series with the same dielectric. I've always just bought the ones I found at the best price on eBay!

Yeah,

If anyone has a link to a nice boxed capacitor kit for cheap, I'd love to hear about it.

Cheers

Damnnnn buddy. Right on.
