I have been trying to find a good dealer of Blackgate caps to update my tube amp but I am having difficulty.
Percyaudio.com does not have the values I need.
Does anyone know of another good Blackgate merchant??
Any opinions on the wkz models?
Thanks,
Dominick |

Dominick:
partsconnexion is running a sale until the end of the month (2 days away) that discounts most of their products by 15%. You might also check www.soniccraft.com -- their regular prices on Black Gate caps are about the same as the discount prices at partsconnexion. I haven't purchased from soniccraft to date, but plan to with my next project.

Other than the wkz model,
What would be a good blackgate model for tube amplifiers?
I am not sure about the pecking order of their models?

| I found that http://www.kyoto-electro.com/ was about 40% less than US and UK suppliers, but I was buying about $175 worth. Not sure if it would be cheaper with smaller orders, but worth a look.... |

I have no affiliation with soniccraft.com, but I would note that their prices for the 47uF 50V and 10uF 50V N series caps are the same as kyoto-electro.com. Shipping costs and time could certainly be a factor, and kyoto-electro may offer discounts (based on your post).
In any event, they both seem to offer very attractive pricing on the BGN caps.

Hi Dominick22,
The wkz B+ power supply series is top notch, but also very expensive. The values they offer are limited too.
If you are looking for something a little less expensive, but also exceptionally high quality, go for jensen. They have a wide ranging series, very low ESR and exceptional sound.
Mundorf are also supposed to be very good, and are even a bit cheaper. Too bad elna cerefina are out of production or I would recommend them too.
partsconnexion has these and I have never had a problem with shipping.
