RE: new (to me) Russian PIO capacitor on ebay

Worth a try for the money.

Also, FWIW Mikey asked what my favourite Cap was but deleted the post. Since I went to the trouble of typing an answer but got side-tracked before submitting I thought I'd post it anyway. My answer:-

"I am VERY impressed with the latest V-Cap CuTF. These may be super expensive but almost impossible to fault and even better than the V-Cap TFTF and OIMP which I had previously used.

I've liked quite a few other caps for their particular strengths but few seem to be balanced overall. Of the Ruskies, Teflon and Silver Mica edge out PIO IMO, though you might throw a K40 into the mix to tame an edgy system.

Would like to try Duelund one day"
