Crossover components rolling ?

[VantheMan]

Hi Stuart,
My valve phono pre is littered with several Russian FT-3 Teflons but unfortunately they get no higher value than O.47uF @200v and given their physical size the best I could do in my Xovers was one of these paired with some other Russian BMGO2 PIO caps of 9.7uF. Unfortunately one of these PIO caps was basically dry, rattling when shaken and although they sounded OK I distrusted them.
I am at present trying some keenly priced 6.8uF LCR FP-CA-AU caps from Farnell paired with the 3.3uF Soniqs and I am well pleased with them so far. Apparently LCR bought out Ampohm and these exact caps were in fact Ampohm models and indeed Farnel send them when you in fact order Ampohms. They are definitely an improvement on what I had before so my next step will probably be to put in some Jantzen Alumens instead of the Soniqs just to test the high-highs through my Millennium tweeters and see if they are as good as they are made out to be..
