ALternative to Blackgate FK Capacitors for DAC Chips

[skibum]

I have been using Blackgate FK's (they are no longer produced and cost about $6 each) in my VALAB NOS DAC. I am using these directly across GND and Vdd of each of the 8 TDA1543 DAC's in my VALAB.

I have had the silmic II and the Nichicon Polymers (NICHICON|PLF1E470MDO2|CAPACITOR, 47UF, 25V | Farnell United Kingdom) recommended so far.

What are people using ?

thanks,

Also try Rubycon ZLG if available. If not, try Rubycon ZL.

You might be able to buy the Rubycons from Farnell.

I paralleled some 47u Nichicon Polymers across a bank of 2200u Rubycon ZL's in a Dacapo DAC. Was much better in the treble.
