Sprague Vitamin Q Paper in Oil Capacitors

The best sounding capacitors for audio powersupplies, decoupling stages, speaker crossover filters, etc are Paper/oil capacitors. These film capacitors use oil soaked paper as di-electric material and are therefore well damped and very smooth and natural in sound. The capacitors I sell were made for the militairy and thus have very good (mil-)specs, are made very precise, and because of that sound best of all. Bandwidth is very high, and distortion very low. A special version of the paper in oil capacitor is the Sprague Vitamin Q, they are rated best in sound by many people.

The milspec Paper in oil capacitors I sell sound better than any modern new production like Jensen or Audionote, not even speaking of any plastic audiotype, like Auricaps, Hovland, MKP, or whatever. We (also independent people) did a lot of tests with them, and they win all the time. If you like to try them, I give a better sound guarantee. If they do not sound better then what you have, you can send them back to me, for a full money refund (excluding shipping).

About Sprague Vitamin Q capacitors:
Sprague Vitamin Q capacitors are developed for 'state of the art' military and scientific applications. They feature:

Exclusive Vitamin Q mineral oil impregnation means unmatched performance
Mostly the terminals are insulated from the case, each case has plastic outer isolation. There are some versions which have one of the leads connected to the case
They are airtight sealed, for long durability and long time stability
Operate temperature from -55 deg. C to +125 deg. C

They are not cheap, even back in the 1900's they already cost a lot. But many D.I.Y. tube audiophiles worldwide still feel that NEW OLD STOCK Vitamin Qs are the best signal capacitors ever made. Stock is decreasing fast, below is listed what I still have available.
