Re: Black Gates caps - Standard vs FK/Non-Polars

My experience is the WKZ's are best for PS filtering applications, the "BG standards" are better than any "standard" electrolytic, the FK's, PK's etc. are better than the standard BG's, and the non-polar N, NX, and NH series caps seem to be the best, but these are only available in low voltage sizes. The "ultimate" is BG-N High-Q non-polar in Super E cap configuration. I use the NP N Hi-Q in SE on my digital boards and for cathode bypass applications.

I think you just need to let them "bake" for a while longer... Let me know how they sound after another hundred or so hours.
