[sdiy] Styroflex Capacitors

[Meta Baron]

Hi Charles and all,

Well styroflex is also named polystyrene capacitors ( not
polyester...). . Styro have very good impulse response. It is frequent
to find them in filters, oscillators or professionnal audio circuits (
eqs...). They are certainly used in many other domains ...They sound
much better than ceramics ( well this is my personnal opinion...) .
For the MCV i admit it is may be a bit luxuoux and a good ceramic
capacitor will work well here , but styro will alway be a bit
better...

Cheers,

Marc B.
