    $200.00 Caps?

    I was just looking at a site for audio caps and about had a heart attack. The prices are more than some speakers. Can they really be that good sounding to warrant the price? Here's the link.

    It's interesting that they recommend them as "bypass" capacitors and not coupling caps in cross over networks

    Not if you put them in a pair of $200 speakers.

    Hey Zilch

    Let's do some Charge Coupled networks with them and report back to the Forum. We can take out second mortgages.
