I am re-capping a Mesa MKIII...
For that I am hunting down some 220uF 300V (or higher V) caps. In that search I started seeing other brands running around.
I have always gone with Sprague/Vishay since they sound good and have long life-spans. Sprague doesn't make the 220uF anymore and Powerlytics (another Vishay company) you can't find a place that has them in stock.
So how do these compare. I am more concerned with longevity. I don't want to have to re-cap for a while.
Illinois Capacitors
F&T Capacitors
Those two are pretty much the only ones that have the 220uF in 300+ VDC that are axial. I could go radial and add some leads, but that is going to mean I will have to glue them in place and such. Eck!
However, what about these others just for comparision:
Xicon
Nichicon
LCR
Auricap
Solen
JJ
Weber
What are your experiences? Sound, reliability, longevity, price? Any other brands out there?
