Re: Nichicon PL cap

They are pretty much a generic low-impedance cap. They work O.K. for power supply stuff, but you can do better if they are in the signal path. I sure like the Silmics in my Sony CDP as coupling caps. You may also want to look into some of the new generation ultra-low impedance tantulums for power supply decoupling from AVX and Sanyo. A friend of mine swears by them.
