Title: Black Cat molded caps ?
Post by: worth on December 27, 2010, 09:20:14 am

I've got some of these from an old Bogen CHB100. What is the repution for these caps... tone , longevity ?

I tested some of these from a large lot of vintage capacitors bought from ebay, with a heathkit it-11 and none of them tested leaky.
Don't know about the tone, as I did not use them in the signal path yet.
 
Hope that helps a little bit,
Regards!!

Lots of people seem to like their sound. As long as they aren't leaking DC, then give them a try!
