In Reply to: They are metallized Teflon and that's how they were able to shrink the size. posted by Michael Samra on April 9, 2014 at 02:18:20:
Interesting. I once had a conversation with the Sonicap guy, wherein he cast some aspersions on V-Caps, intimating they were not "really" teflon film and foil. I believe he also maintained in that same conversation that the Sonicaps, in contrast, WERE true film/foil construction, but it is not fair to hang that latter statement on him, since my memory could be at fault. But I am sure he dissed the V-Caps.
It is good to have your subjective judgements of the relative sonic merits, but in general it seems to me you like PIO caps better than I. So I have to figure that in, too. So far, in my brief experience with K40s, they are indeed well made and reliable, but the jury is very much out on whether I love the sonics or whether the sonics are pretty run of the mill. Just OK. Could be I need more break-in time.
I did some search on metallized teflon, and it seems I was wrong to doubt that such caps can be made. They are fairly easy to find, in fact.
OT, the Russian polystyrenes I found to be underwhelming as coupling caps. I would not use them again. They were not near as good as some US-made polystyrene film and foils I have in my stash, made by a company that is now defunct. ("PAS"?) Also not as good as MIT RTX. Have you tried them (the Russian-made polystyrenes f&f)?
