I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone (maybe on the
DIYstompboxes or DIYaudio forum or maybe just a web page about different
caps...) that they had used Sprague 150D "Tantalex" caps as audio
coupling caps with good results. Anyone else have experience with these
in this regard? I ask because I have a decent collection of various
sizes. They look like they'd stand up to time quite well, being
hermetically sealed much like PIO caps. I have no doubt that they'd work
great as bypass caps or for power supply decoupling. I'm curious about
their audio performance compare to run-of-the-mill tantalum caps (which
I am usually loathe to use) or aluminum electrolytics. Can't remember if
I've asked about these before...
