And I thought cheap caps were made in Havana by older ladies whose thighs were too wrinkled to roll cigars.

WIMA are perfectly good caps. Some years ago before high-figh snooties went for silver foil & teflon caps that cost a weeks' wages, WIMA were highly regarded, used for upgrading old Dyna, Heath, McIntosh, Marantz tube amps. Old Fenders & Marshalls etc too. Hassle was, they're box-shaped and the repair person had to add extra wire to reach the circuit points. You won't have this problem. Some brands of more modern hifi & MI gear have factory installed WIMA caps, can't say I've ever seen a failed one. Gets my approval, no problem.Originally posted by überfuzz View PostThis isn't the future I signed up for.Comment

Thanks ALL!
I don't know why I'm so hesitant whenever I buy new electrical 'stuff', but I am.
