Though I'm big on NOS tubes and resistors in my builds, I've never bothered much with vintage caps as I'm pretty happy with modern selections. However, when buying a large lot of vintage tubes this week I found myself with about 150 NOS, US-made PIO caps. Sprague Vit C, West Cap, and TWO. I know that people make a big fuss about these so I wanted to ask for opinions here since I can trust you guys for down to earth responses, rather than doing a search which brings up all kinds of nonsense from hi-fi and guitar forums. What applications do people prefer these in and what are their benefits/compromises when using PIOs? Yes, I will try them myself but I would like to get opinions before implementing them. Thanks!
