I'm installing fully inductive eq in the mid sections of my console.
I'm curious what you folks would recommend for the type of caps.
The values I'm looking at are
.047uF
.056uF
.082uF
.15uF
.27uF
.56uF
1uF
1.5uF
2.2uF
3.3uF
I was thinking about using Wima polyester caps for the low mids (especially 1uF, 1.5uF, 2.2uF, 3.3uF) because of they're small footprint.
I'm hoping for 5mm lead spacing, 7.5mm would work, 10mm maybe (but that's pushing it) These would be little breadboard circuits, so I don't have to fit them according to a PCB, but size is a concern because they have to fit inside the channel.
So I thought I'd pick some brains here. Maybe polystyrene for some of these values if I can find them?
I'm looking at 24 each for all those values, and price is a concern, but I'd be willing to pay a little bit more for one cap over another if they potentially sound sweeter.
I'm sure the common advice would be try them out and see, but I'm looking for some recommendations as to which caps to try out. Maybe metallized polypro, which I guess are smaller? Is there a panasonic series that any of you folks have thought sounded good in this sort of application?
