What manufacturer makes V-Cap teflons?
TIA,

But am not sure.
Since REL have their own line of teflon caps that in fact sound slightly different from VCaps, I would not have thought they make the Vcaps as well. But stranger things have turned out to be true.
In look and feel (not sound quality), VCaps have always reminded me of Auricaps. But I have no idea who makes Auricaps, either. I would not be surprised if the two brands emanate from the same source, however.
But it is nothing unusual for a manufacturer of anything to make their own version of something they are making for someone else.
They have the materials in stock.
I doubt they are made the same way. I guess aluminum is used instead of tin or copper? They offer a copper foil polystyrene. I tend to think that is what the agreement is - Vcaps are teflon and copper or tin and RELCAP (if this is the case) are restricted to using aluminum for their branded product.
they're too much money
California capacitor is the company that manufactures Audience capacitors which includes Auricap.
Vcaps,I couldn't tell you but I have some and I personally like the Russian FT2s and FT3s about as well..You can also bypass them with a .01uf k40y if you think there is any tinge.

About the Auricap,they may now Mike but I've seen bags from the vendor and they were rel cap. This was 6-8 years ago though.

Both Reliable capacitor and California capacitor are based in Calif.They were always made by California capacitor.I knew this from the Steve that worked at Rel cap..That dealer could have maybe had a Rel cap bag is all..Now it is possible that the Teflon Auricaps may be made by Rel.I can check that easy enough.
