Re: Where can I get Sprague 6PSP caps?

152.163.194.196

Hi Jim,
I called Antique and they do have them in stock,part#c-sd068-600.If you had to increase the value from .068 to.1,"typically"it does`nt matter,but,if you could find the correct value,stick with that.
I would never say that one type of cap is better than another.In my opinion the 6PSP type balances well with vintage amplifiers that are usually populated with carbon composition resistors.Leading edge transient information in the rythym ranges keep their "bite" with the 6PSPs.At the same time,high frequency info does`nt get sizzly.For me,this is a good thing.The 7 series seems to smooth over some of the bite in the rythym ranges.This may be a good thing for certain systems and certain tastes,but not for me.There may be situation where my opinion may be reversed,but so far it has`nt been.Good Luck scrooie looie
