WIMA MKS or Ampohm for output coupling?

Howdy folks.

Can anyone answer my question?.........

I've narrowed down 2 caps for analogue output coupling in my CD6003, now should I use WIMA MKS or Ampohm Polypropylene? I'm going for 47uF's.

Not that it makes a difference but the WIMAs are cheap at under £2 each and the Ampohms are £5.50.

Thanks

You probably mean 4.7uF

The Ampohm are much nicer than any Wima and especially an MKS.

I have used their paper in oil too in low values of course. Excellent.

Yup. Too bad they couldn't stay in business.

They said they went bust, but since then I saw new series mylar & foil in oil out there. Maybe they did not bite the dust in the end?
