...are highly affordable--the most-expensive alternative (Obligattos) is only $265 for both amps including relatively expensive bypass caps.On the lower-R choke, I'm considering it.
On the Solen Fastcaps, what they're really good for is providing a relatively high amount of capacitance in relatively low space and at a relatively low price. They do that by (I believe) using thinner film than other manufacturers' same-Voltage-rated caps. Also, the zinc they use as end-spray is about the worst-sounding metallic material imaginable. The result is a relatively small and inexpensive cap that sounds edgy to LOTS of us out here. I may not be a GEA, but I'm sensitive to that sonic sin, and I can hear it from the Solen FastCaps. I can afford better, so why not?
