Hi Tweeker,
There is an interesting entry in there. The "Loss Tangent" for silicon is 0.005 @ 1 GHz, a vacuum is 0 I guess. One reason for a difference in sound between SS and tubes? For comparison, a polystyrene cap has a loss of 0.00033 @ 3 GHz. Hmmmm.

Mind if I ask why you're asking?

Ah, ok. By the way, some of the separator papers used for capacitors are made of hemp rather than wood fiber.
Also, Steve Bench did some linearity tests on a variety of caps including a number of film caps and the PIO performed as good or better than the film caps.
