Maby the most costly capacitor on the market

Hello

Maby the most costly capacitor on the market;

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

no, Audionote 3.3uF silver:

1,598 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

They must be good if they cost that much, right?

I'll make you one that costs MORE than either of those. Email your basic requirements for a quote. The waiting list is down to 17 months...

how about 5230 euro...

Much better!

I think it won't be difficult to add heaps of MICA types together to get an even more expensive 20 uF type.

Then again, Charles, it would be easy to add alot of those 5230 euros caps in a series parallel configuration to have a much more expensive 20 uF type.

What do you think ?

Surely, the challenge is to find an adequate capacitor that is cheaper than all the others.

Charles,

here's 24uF styrene , when will you be available to do the soldering ?

(i offer 5 bucks to the one who posts a pic of a twit who bought one of those 5k silver foil caps)

Is there a wiring technique to minimise the inductance of the 24uF assembly?

Uh, yes. Ask the Z Machine.

Megajoules in nanoseconds means high voltages, large capacitances and low, low inductances (probably arranged as transmission lines).

I don't know why people in audio would be asking about paralleled capacitors, just get a Filmlytic and be done with it. If you're not talking about audio, then perhaps you do in fact need high RMS currents; in that case, you might build something like this:

Note the water cooling, which so far I have found unnecessary.
