Boutique caps in oil... reliable?


Hi Everyone,

Just kind of openly curious.  On occasion I will read a post here or there that a boutique film cap which uses oil as a dielectric has leaked (i.e. failed). 

Just wondering when it comes to these high end oil impregnated (or maybe even wax!) caps what your experience has been with long term reliability.

 

Thanks!

Only issue I've had with oil caps over many years was Jensen copper foil in Cary amp, well known issue with those caps. Duelund CAST is now my preference by large margin vs others.
