[sdiy] Kemet Multilayer (was Walt Jung and Richard Marsh's Capacitors article)

[Chris MacDonald]

Anyone else tried the Kemet "Golden Max" Multilayer ceramics?  I now use
a few in the MM to replace some (relatively) big and expensive micas.  I
was considering the NPO variety for the S/H in the MIDI/CV as well. 
They are a bit more expensive than polystyrene (at .01uF), but they are
MUCH smaller than any other .01 I can find (which is advantageous in
this instance).  Am I nuts?  :)
