That is:
(I doubt it but...) Is there a (perceived) consensus as to which of these is best. For let's say power supply of a headphone amp, for instance.
More to the point: What are folks opinions based on experience?
I wonder because Panasonics are available from DigiKey but seem to have a more 'mundane' reputation, whereas Muse and Cerafine seem to have a more hi-end 'boutique' reputation. Even though Muse cost around the same as Panasonic. Cerafine seem to be around 3 or 4 times a$ much, but still not stratospheric.
Thanks!

- Elna Cerafine
- Nichicon Muse (let's say KZ series)
- Panasonic FC

hacknet said:i`m a fan of the P FCs.. they are quite good in most aspects. i`ve put them in digital power supplies with good results too.
as in u have tried all 3 of them and done a comparison and derive at the outcome that the Panasonics beats the rest? what kind of digital supply u used them in?
would appreciate more details of your findings in terms of differences in sonic qualities or any measurements taken that justify for your conclusion.
reaction said:Black Gate Standard is another (better) option. The price is the same as Cerafine's but they sound better I think.
no way that the BGs cost the same as Cerafine!
FCs are better than Cerafines. A lot of us think that they aren't so hot.
Don't like any of the "Kahn Brothers" caps either, although there may be a few decent ones.
I usually rip any of those brands out, and replace with a Panasonic, as much as I cringe giving them money.
Black Gates for the same price???? No way.................
