I thought I saw that Audio Note was going to be producing (for lack of a better description,as I forgot the interview on "Enjoy the Music" TV)a
"Black Gate" replacement Cap.
The thing I'm not sure about is if they were going to available just to
Audio Note or available to the general public (One of these days,I'll have to start saving & "Bookmarking" things)

this summer when I emailed with Audio Note about the lower voltage "possible" replacement to the BG. They admitted that at this point, the BG is the best they have used. To equal it would be fine with me. The problem is, is that Audio Note charges so much. I realize that a lot of R&D costs but it isn't fun when you are paying 5 to 10 times what other caps go for.
So being selective, if they come out with a replacement, will be the the word for me. I used to use the BG's everywhere as I would pick them up on sale and also the lower voltage caps weren't that bad of a price. I still have a bunch packed away somewhere but not sure where. I counted and have around 100 right now but that doesn't mean they are the right voltage and I am not going to run them in series.
