Sprague Black Beauty caps

[Nathan]

Thinking of trying these for the parafeed- found some NOS .1uf 600 volt

Opinions? I have no personal experience, but word is they are good-

A whole ton of people are going to disagree with me, but putting an old cap like that in your SEX amp is like finding an old can of gas in someone's shed and pouring it in your car's gas tank.

I like the analogy!

The .1uf cap isn't the parafeed cap.

If you are looking for a nice inexpensive upgrade for the .1uf interstage cap you might want to try one of these.

I think it is a nice sounding "bang for the buck" replacement and a big step up from the stock brown film cap. IMHO they go together nicely with the stock Solen parafeed cap. You could spend A LOT more money for a little sonic gain. Of course YMMV.

lol at the analogy.  I think you will find the praise for these is coming from musicians who dig their tone when used in guitar tone circuits.

Thanks for the correction- it's the .1 uf I'm looking to swap out-

That was fast- I just got the caps from parts express and they are already in circuit. Can't judge a cap immediately upon installation- but everything sounds good-
