OF COURSE the V-Caps are LIGHT YEARS better than cheap, old-technology
Mil-Spec parts. Are the $5.00 a throw caps ANY GOOD AT ALL compared to a $200.00 boutique capacitor? Hah! WHAT a laugh! They're absolute TRASH compared to the $200.00 cap.>>
I simply don't buy this at all. A teflon capacitor is a teflon capacitor. It's already a step up from other types. This is absolutely nothing to do with 'cheap trash'. The best of the Soviet era parts are huge bargains. We won't see that kind of production again.
