RE: Is there an electrolytic capacitor shortage?

Your a tough man to please. Perhaps the below might be worth a try. Someone was saying good things about a different value of the same series. They are being billed as audio grad

"The absolute very BEST electrolytic capacitors are made by Vishay BC components. They were used to be made by Philips. They are aluminum electrolytic caps. They are covered in a blue plastic film and have axial leads. You can buy them at www.newark.com Again, the very best electrolytic caps I've ever used. In solid state amplifiers, power supply bypassing is a must! To protect against oscillation, etc. For example, if it's a mosfet output stage amplifier, the bypass caps need to be located as close to the mosfets as possible. I usually do it like this: 4700uF(electrolytic) + 47uF(electrolytic) + 1uF(film) + 0.1uF(film) This works for me! But it will vary from case to case.
