>Leyden jar diy synth anyone?

Just to keep this thread from dying out, Eric Barbour (Metasonix) sent me
this list of audiophile capacitor manufacturers:

Try Jupiter. Beeswax. Literally.
http://jupitercondenser.com/

Or Duelund.
http://www.duelundaudio.com/CAST_Capacitor.asp

Or Mundorf. Silver AND gold foil.
http://www.mundorf.com/english/bauteile/frkondensator.htm

Or V-Cap. Silver and Teflon. The prices are horrifying.
http://www.v-cap.com/copper-teflon-capacitors.php

Audio Note. Silver foil. They make V-cap look like a bargain.
A 3.3 uF cap will cost you a mere $3062. Why? Because it's Audio Note.
A British company that stole its name from the original Japanese firm.
