Hello Everyone,
I'm going through some of my old boxes and found a pair of old Naim phono board left behind after I sold my NAC62.
Found this component which is unknown to me, can someone help to educate me if this is a capacitor and if so what type?

Thank you.

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

That is a 6.8 nF, 250V maximum operating voltage, stacked foil, polyester film capacitor.
They are a special, low inductance type but otherwise similar to any common polyester film capacitor of the same rating. Once, they were popular in high end equipment like Naim's preamps but if you don't need the feature, a polypropylene film (MKP) or standard polyester film (MKT) type may be fine in the application.

I have some of these in my collection - these 220n 400V rated parts. These are stacked-film radial wire-ended metallised polyester film capacitors from the Epcos product range B32560 series according to a 2007-2008 RS Components catalogue.
There are no manufacturers markings on my actual parts but you can look the information up on RS Components website B32560J6103K000 | EPCOS 10nF Polyester Capacitor PET 200 V ac, 400 V dc +-10% B32560 Series Through Hole | RS Components

Not that there would be any risk with voltage levels in a Naim phono board these parts are not coated. One application mentioned is lamp ballast circuits for energy saving lamps - they would have to be a super stable proposition in the Naim power supply.
