Source for Nichicon Muse

What is the consensus on the Nichicon Muse electrolytic capacitors as a cheaper alternative to Blackgates? Secondly, does anyone know where they can be sourced? Can't get them at either Digikey or Mouser.

Muses are almost as good but not as quiet as Black Gates.

They are MUCH cheaper.

If you find a good source other than Michael Percy, who is pricey but efficient, do let us know on this forum. I'm looking too, and want 1K+ quantities.

Cheers,

Hugh

I'm looking at going through my Canadian Nichicon distributor. Let me know if I should pursue. He has allowed me to surreptitiously add my order (done by him) on to the back end of a major manufacturer's order. So I get the 'corporate machine' price on like...20 caps.

Or the Rubycon's. Same deal. Take your pick.

This place seems to have good prices for Nichicon Muse - but not an extensive range.
