Hello everyone!
I am new to the whole DIY game. I just finished my first circuit. Just a tube screamer, but it works, and it sounds great! My girlfriend was surprised. She actually said "What!? It actually sounds good?". Nice.
Anyways, onto the point of the post. I am ordering parts for a new project, and I really want to get the best parts I can. The only issue is that if I were to order all the parts I wanted, I would need to get them from 4 different online stores. Thats a lot of shipping charges! So I am hoping to eliminate my mouser order, and get all my caps from Allied.
Names that keep coming up for audio grade electrolytic capacitors are Panasonic, Elna, Mundorf, black gates and others. Allied carries none of these. They carry Vishay, Illinois, Cornell Dubillier, and Sprague/Vishay radial electrolytics. Will any of these work out?
I have read a lot of info about capacitors, but I have yet to find a reference for which brands of caps are audio grade. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
