Hi Michael, nice that you sorted out the Wima. But never the less they did not give you what you wanted. It seems the 217 is lagging a bit behind the 331 as well. That in it self is perhaps not so surprising.
As I said in a previous comment the Wimas are cheap attempts at audio grade caps... Change to jantzen silver Z caps... The different is obvious... The Wimas are cheap and may compromise the sound too much
Just looked the Jantzen caps up and they look quite a big step upwards from any I am using at the moment. I am now thinking of getting a couple for experimenting with myself. I will try and find a UK supplier first.
hi there is alot fakes on ebay 90 of all caps i get in come from RS because i get deals on 100 packs £5 or a 100 post csot has gone up alot with them i know alot of pro's buy in alot

I hope its not to long before you get your first video finished and uploaded Bob. It can be quite a long process even for just a short video, its quite amazing how involved it can be.
hi my mate had a 100% re cap done on a quad power amp note it cost him over £200 i said he been ripped of big time the man that d the work is still working in the repair game his fee's are silly i told my mate i could done alot of the work i did have alot on at the time beware re pair fee's can be hi i checked the video heads on vhs before they get jucked just in case (sony) decks or high end ones
U can buy Quad copies from China cheaper than that..... Many people say they are very good.... Xcept the anti China lobby... But there is a lot of shit like in the UK
Hi , have you tried the Elna Silmic II ?
No not yet but I will put them on my list as I have has quite a few sugestions to try, so Ile do another 4 or 5 cap test soon

Thanks for pointing out that the first one might be a copy
try one of the NOS philips orange drop 1uf, ESR = 0
Thanks for the recommendation I will look into those
That's very interesting... And yes, there are a lot of fake Wima caps coming from China (also fake Fine Golds, and many other top names).
Thanks, not always easy to tell on looks, though a listening test sould tell them apart

Its not cheap getting it done, think most service people charge the same price rate as an electrician or plumber around £70 a hour
