They do not suffer from moisture problems and seldom leak. Black Cats are similar to the Good Alls, one of the very first Mylar caps used in audio.My philosophy on this is that "If It Ain't Broke, don't fix it". The Black Cats on my units are still working fine, so why replace them?
So, I guess Dave Hafler wasn't that cheap after all. He could have used plastic molded paper types such as Black Beauties. He instead used a mylar cap for greater reliability.
And besides, I like the darned caps! :-)
