The question of which capacitor brand to use for what seems to pop up pretty frequently, so how about we clear the air a little as to the the "reasons" why one uses a particular brand over the other. No heresay, just good old honesty, however humbling that may be...
I'll start:
I mostly use Xicon electrolytics, for PS filter caps as well as for signal 'lytic caps.
REASON: I see most modern gear manufacturers doing the same.
Panasonics for monolithic ceramics.
REASON: I see most modern gear manufacturers doing the same.
Vishay-Roederstein for polypropylene caps.
REASON: Because Wima's aren't readily in stock at mouser.
Who's next?
