.047/250v(green) 022/1kv(Green) and .015/400v (silver-above)
Smoothest caps I know of-I like 'em better than the Jensen PIOs (for guitars as well as amps-these w/polyester/foil caps in the inverter section do wonderful things for Marshall-type circuits. Better than "Mouse-turds" for new builds..LOTS less $$ as well. So you can avoid dumb stuff. Like spending $250++ on signal caps, and $85 on tubes.)
These are also the guts (or working bits) in the venerable LUXE Bumblebee repros folks rave about.
From their E-bay ad:
"The caps are handmade with Russian military surplus .022/400v Paper-in-Oil capacitors and have a very warm and creamy sound. Everybody loves these which is why they are always out of stock.
These are the only paper-in-oil Bumblebee repros available in the whole wide world, and at half the price of the crappy fakes you can't go wrong.
To answer a frequently asked question: the Vintage Clone caps are made with a Mallory 150, which is a metallized plastic film cap ($1.28 each from MojoMusicalSupply). Why are the Vintage Clone caps at least $44 each? Search me. What's the difference? Mine are 100 Million times better and half the price!"
Here's the difference-
-Crap clones:$44 each.
-LUXE Russians in a black/striped evening ensemble:$40/pair
-These, same deal, just silver!
-all tested for value, and leakage, leads dressed for easy soldering.
(They're20+ year old Mil Surplus...all have funky leads, some are off spec/leak.)
You're getting something that's not gonna give you fits installing, and delivering maximum sonic benefit.
$10/pair, either value includes PayPal and shipping.
At these prices even nay-sayers who believe A-cap-is-a-cap, (you know-the ones who change the ceramic discs for Orange drops??)
can decide for themselves for the cost of a couple of beers.
Lots of references, lot of folks here have bought 'em and dig 'em.
P.M.me
