Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Apologies, no offense intended. It was an attempt at humour based on my cloth ears not being able to tell the difference between the various types of caps I've used. I'm happy to delete the post if you think it could be seen as a dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just believe (in general) that someone's for sale post is not the right place for expressing a subjective opinion. Its something I've never done myself. The BCers who've had these caps from me are satisfied, & thankfully don't have cloth ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 [quote name='rob_89' post='1070271' date='Dec 27 2010, 05:09 PM']i think 'mylar' was the brand?[/quote] 'Mylar' is a material sometimes used in the construction of a capacitor. This makes it one of the 'many 'types' referred to previously. It's not really a 'brand'. A capacitor is basically two conductors separated by an insulator (called the dielectric). The surface area of the electrodes and the characteristics of the insulator determine the capacitance of the device and its safe operating voltage. Paper was a common insulator in early capacitors and the paper was often soaked in oil to increase the safe working voltage. This was important as such capacitors were commonly used in old valve radios, which often had high voltage power supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugget Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I fitted these (paper/oil 47s) this afternoon in my thinline passive jazz and they REALLY make a difference. 1st tried it through a practice amp where I couldnt hear a change by fired up my SWR and the difference is very noticable - rolling off the tone the sound is certainly more warm by more defined useable warmth, if that makes any sense - I find it hard to explain tones. Cheapest way to make your bass sound sweeter Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
