Electros in ssl

[jeroddumas]

Which are better for the ssl? Nichicon HEs or Panasonic FC. I am talking about the 22uf caps.

SSL what?


EDIT: sorry that sounded kinda rude.. do you mean the Compressors, consoles, preamps?

I like the Nichicon PW and HE series over the Pana FCs..

In the ssl ompressor clone.

I used upws in mine and like them, totally different sound than fc's. Caps are really cheap enough to audition a few for yourself, its good research!

I have used FCs in one and UPW in the other, and they sound very different. I think FCs have a super bright and open top end. I feel UPWs have better midrange detail. As soundguy said, buy some of both since they're rather inexpensive.

Another option could be the Elna Stargets (RS has these).

I so wish there was a place in the USA to get those caps...
