I want to build the gyraf calrec eq, but the cost of all the tantalum caps is a bit prohibitive especially for my first real project. Radial leaded tants from mouser are at the cheapest $1.55 or so (Vishay sprague). For a stereo version that's about $37.00 just for the tants. Nichicon bipolar electrolytics at $.23 each are much cheaper. Since I'm still feeling my my way around electronics, I want to keep costs down. How would electrolytics be in that specific circuit, bipolar or polar?
Or anyone know a source for some cheaper tants? The SMD tants seem to be a lot cheaper, is it possible to use those?
