Capacitor Selection

All of our wiring kits are available with the choice of the following 4 capacitors.

SBE ORANGE DROP ($1)

SBE Orange Drop Capacitors have a long history of proven reliability. They are fine and reasonably priced capacitors which are well suited for guitar applications. These are made from polypropylene and aluminum foil and coated in the signature flame retardant orange epoxy.

HOVLAND MUSICAP (.022 uf $11.95, .047 uf $13.95)

Hovland MusiCaps are limited production specialty capacitors which receive worldwide acclaim—from audio engineers, reviewers, hobbyists and music lovers. By far the most musically accurate capacitor available, MusiCaps provide a dramatic improvement in clarity, focus and dynamics when used in critical new designs, or as an upgrade to existing components.

ALLPARTS VITAMIN Q OIL & PAPER ($11.50)

This is new production capacitor made by ALLPARTS and NOT new old stock. Many feel that oil and paper provide the best sound. These film capacitors use oil soaked paper as di-electric material and are therefore well damped and very smooth and natural in sound.

V-CAP TFTF TEFLON® FILM & FOILL (.022 uf $52.99, .047 uf $59.99)

The V-Cap TFTF Teflon® film and tin foil audiophile capacitors are the result of an extensive research and development project by a team of world-renowned experts in electrical engineering, chemistry, materials science, and some of the top minds (and "ears") in the audio industry. These experts were commissioned to help design, build, and evaluate a "cost-no-object" capacitor for reference-grade audiophile applications. The resulting series of proprietary materials and processes has produced one of the most extraordinary, musical capacitors ever made. V-Caps are NOT a “rebrand” or relabeling of an already existing product, but a unique new capacitor design that has been meticulously engineered and handcrafted in the U.S.A.
