Solen Fast capacitors, anyone?

[alk509]

Hey guys and gals,

Has anybody tried Solen Fast polyprops in their projects? What do you make of them? I found some at a relatively good price...

Peace,
Al.

I'm getting my buddy's overstock, actually :wink:. A quick search shows Parts Express, Tube Depot, The Tube Store and Handmade Electronics all have them in stock, though.

Peace,
Al.

I wanted to try them out, but I couldn't catch 'em. Too damned fast...

They are OK for what they are. Very often when on budget, I use them. They cannot stand though, against more expensive and higher quality Kimber Kaps, IMO. They are very good as filter caps in tube amps.

I use them for screen bypass caps, but not coupling from plate to grid.
They are meant primairly for speaker cross-overs. Better than lytic for coupling, but Black Gates might sound a little sweeter.
I used Solens and Hoveland Musicaps in my V76. Seems to work.
I noticed Winston has both of those brands in his Redd stuff also.
