In the past, I've used silver mica caps in a number of applications with positive results. The only problem I've ever seen with good quality ones was a single one in a 40 year old HP amplifier that had become leaky. If silvered mica caps are so crappy, why did they ever use them in the first place? I was not suggesting that they were crappy. I was suggesting that of all the high quality ones I have worked with over many years, I've only seen 1 failure. His experience may well be due to the fact that his were of unknown origin and unknown quality. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney Madison, WI 53711 USA ----------------------------------------------- |
