Re: Where to get Elna Silmic caps?

Thanks! My ears are quite sensitive to hardness and my Maggies are very revealing of it, so I really prefer smoother sounding components. I also listen to a lot of music with brass (e.g., Bruckner's symphonies) and it gets really fatigueing quickly if there's any hardness.

These caps would be used for local opamp bypasses in an SS preamp, phono stage, and CDP analog output stage. The opamps are OPA627s and an LT1362 in the preamp. I'm thinking of a "Goudreau triplet," 100-200uF electolytic stacked with 0.01uF and 0.1-0.4uF SMD ceramics from V+/V- to ground, and/or Epcos B32560 uncoated stacked film caps between V+ and V-. The opamps are also biased with CRDs.

BTW, since you mentioned Jensens, do you have any experiences with / knowledge of Jensen 4-pole electrolytics for power supplies in SS gear?
