Unlytic capacitors

JohnG · 23rd October 2011, 01:41 AM

These Unlytic caps from Electronic Concepts (http://www.ecicaps.com/pdf/specifications/UL30.pdf) are probably about the best caps you can have for your tube power supply. These are film caps (not electrolytic) rated at 1kV.

I have the following for sale:

Qty. 7 of NOS UL30BL0085 85uF +/-10%, 1000V, $50 each

Qty. 2 of NOS UL30BL0120 120uF +/-10%, 1000V, $75 each

US buyers only, please.

Thanks,
John

Ok, I guess that's too expensive. New prices are

Qty. 7 of NOS UL30BL0085 85uF +/-10%, 1000V, $30 each

Qty. 2 of NOS UL30BL0120 120uF +/-10%, 1000V, $50 each

Last price drop before eBay. This is one of the only ways out of using electrolytic caps in the power supply, and these caps are both hard to obtain, and will be far more linear than any electrolytic caps.

Power supply caps will affect the sound, and the effect of this increases as one reduces the amount of NFB. These caps are made by Electronic Concepts, who pioneered the replacement of electrolytics with film caps. The 1000V rating means you can really push these hard, or you can use conventional voltages and these caps will barely be working.

So I lied and did not put them on Ebay. They are still available:

Qty. 7 of NOS UL30BL0085 85uF +/-10%, 1000V, $20 each

Qty. 2 of NOS UL30BL0120 120uF +/-10%, 1000V, $30 each

Folks,

Right now, these are all spoken for. If anything changes or falls through, I will post accordingly. I've contacted the first several people who expressed an interest already.

Thanks,
John
