As you know Im an the biggest pio fan on this forum no doubt but the motorruns are poly in oil and they are good caps but I only use solens and those for filtering..Now the ASC may be different than the CSC which look just like them but I seem to have more detail with the solens and they fit in an existing filter cap hole very easily where the oil caps dont.Now you can bypass the solens with a 1uf pio like a pair of .47s in parallel and that should reduce any edginess if there is any.I havent heard any edginess in my amps from them but others may have..I would go with the solens for the sake of simplicity but if your building an amp,you can save money with the motorruns in oil.Take a look at the photo..These are both 100uf..One is a solen and one is a csc which is much like the asc.

I've used both in HV PSs, and altho I'm no GEA, I feel that the Solens are always a little edgy... - jeffreybehr 23:59:14 03/07/07 (0)
