Howdy,

I need 4 .1uF caps for a project and would like to check with you guys to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing a couple so I can hit the 5-24 price.  The 2-4 price is $95.51 and the 5-24 price is $84.16.    Hit me with a PM if you want to play along.  (I

I like to fantasize about buying a V-Cap once in awhile. What stops me is that I can only afford something that is basically a bypass cap. Not sure what other's experiences have been with V-Caps, but I love some info about how people have used them, and whether they found them to be worth it etc. - thanks - Eric

I have a couple pairs of teflon V-caps and in every application I've used them they bring a big, open and clear sound.  Expensive but you get what you pay for.  I also have a pair of the cheaper OIMP caps but it's been a while since I've used them.  What I remember was that they really didn't impress me.

I've heard great things about the copper V's but dang they are ridiculously expensive! 

The world was made for those not cursed with self-awareness.

I have used the teflon copper, teflon tin, and OIMP caps from V-cap. 

These are very, very expensive caps, but certainly the best I have worked with sonically.  I must admit, however, that the break in on the Teflon caps was more dramatic than I had expected.

I do highly recommend securing these tightly, as they are very heavy, and you can simply snap them off your leads if you leave them loose.

For a fair amount of Bottlehead products, the OIMP caps fit the bill (I'd love to hear a Crack with four 47uF OIMP's in it).
