Continental Capacitor Inc's Oil-Filled Polypropylene PS Caps
Discovered by Mike Elliot (founder of Counterpoint), of tube electronics manufacturer Aria Audio & modification company Alta Vista Audio, these are one of the finest, if not the finest PS caps for use in tube gear.
This is what he has to say:
"IN HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLIES I used to use the fine ELNA Cerafine, but they were discontinued. Black Gate WKZ, N and NH were excellent, but they too have ceased to be made.
Lately I've started to use Continental Capacitors' "Type-A" oil-filled capacitors for power supply work. They can't be used in all the products, as they are physically too large. But when I can fit them in, I will. These are luscious-sounding capacitors, warm, round and very present. They make it sound like the singer or musicians are in the room with you, more so than the Black Gate parts, and more than any other oil-filled capacitor I've found."
