On the Russian Teflons,use the 200v version as they are physically smaller and they will work in up to 746 volt applications.Another great cap is the Solen film and foil..These are the white colored caps and nothing like the harsh black ones..What you probably didnt try is mixing pio caps with other caps..I think you might like pio caps mixed with a silver mica or a teflon..There are positives about every cap and there negatives about every cap.I use horn systems to and I like pio caps on those as well.If I use straight film or teflon caps,I get a sterile mechanical sound.This is why mixing helps tremendously.

So the 200v is not a DC rating? - John PA 19:11:03 07/28/12 (3)

It is a rating but being its a military teflon cap - Michael Samra 19:53:11 07/29/12 (2)
