Capacitors

Re: Capacitors

I'll agree with reliability being a reason to go with something else, although I don't think I've ever destroyed a disc using it as a tone control. Don't remember what I used last time, whatever was laying around, probably polyester.



I'm pretty sure that pair of speaker cables is worth more than all my worldly possessions, I'm not sure what part of that statement is more sad, but I'm pretty sure it is true and not by a small margin.

And that's just for 2 meters. Check out the prices as the lengths increase. There's a drop down menu on that page I linked.

Some people have more money than sense, me thinks. But I'm sure the people who actually spend that type of money on cables would just say that I envy them.

Re: Capacitors

We've taken this way off topic, now what about those 47 farad capacitors?

Re: Capacitors

I put a paper in oil cap in my RG2

It sounds great

But it could be the Duncans
Or the treble bleed
Or the super switch
Or the Triple shot rings
Or the Carvin Tuners
Etc....etc

Capacitors

??

Except integers being easier to remember, discuss and write down. That's why units are scaled.

I think you're just trying to make an argument for the sake of argument...

No, I’m telling you what I find easier to use.

And you can’t “discuss and write down” fractions or decimals? Lol. That didn’t even make sense.

Fractional inches are particularly easy... half of 3/4 is 3/8... etc.

I wonder what response I'd got if I send a crosscut drawing of road plans with all the measures in kilometres.

Width: 0.0042 km
Slopes: 0.0005 km per side
Outer slope 0.001 km
Ditch depht 0.0015 km
Gravel depht 0.00002 km

Totally out of context. But nice try.

Why don’t you use nanometers then since you are so hot over nanos. Lol

No. It's exactly and literally a same thing: Scaling of units.

In a totally impractical way.

People have been using micro Farads for a long time. Like the mid 19th century. So changing to nano Farads offers zero benefits except to those that compulsively feel the need for everything to be in the SI system. Also notice that caps still come in microfarads

Especially if we are talking electric guitars, which originated in the US, and will likely use Imperial units for hardware until we stop making 1/4-20 bolts... which won’t be any time soon. Lol.

Hey I use both inches and metric on a daily basis. Why can’t you? It’s not hard. [emoji2]

It has nothing to do with imperial vs metric system.

Unit is Farad. Prefix simply states the multiplier.

Then leave it at micro Farad.

Microfarad is one millionth of a Farad. Nano is one billionth. So why use it? It’s almost never been used in North America until recently.

The reason I mostly see is people insist it’s part of the SI. Same reason you see a 1.5m resistor listed as resistors being either written as 4.7k or 4k7. Because decimals are so hard. Lol

Hey you brought it up. Lol

That doesn't make sense at all.

It's just simpler to scale accordingly. Like you said there: 4.7k instead of 4700 ohm, 1M instead of 1000000. You do use those as anyone else dealing with them.

And you also use microfarads, because farad is unusably large unit for normal use. Your fixation about that particular meter simply baffles me.

Farad is SI unit. There is no unit in imperial system for capacitance.

I leave this at that.

You're right. Sorry about that.

Just can't leave some things hanging loose...
