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 :blink:

Hey Zilch

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