[sdiy] Old Japanese Capacitors?

[harrybissell]

Hmmm could it be... from Japan ???

I think that in the quest for purity, it would be best to concentrate on
those
devices which are most likely to mave differences.

Transistors and ICs are the obvious chioce.

Capacitors are way down on the list, unless there is some parameter of
them that
is especially BAD.  Most good capacitors behave a lot alike.

Resistors are a similar story. There are cases where a Carbon Comp
resistor may
be the right resistor for the circuit.  Places where high pulse power
dissipation, and
low self-inductance are important.  Places where low NOISE is not
important.

Most capacitors of similar type (tantalum, electrolytic etc.) usually
sound pretty
much the same, imho.
