Yea, I know what you mean about those Teflon based caps. I am glad that the Sonicap Platinum went back into full production.
I am stocking all values and have been moving quite a few of them despite not even having them up on my web site. I have been selling them mostly in quantities to OEM's.
I am a big fan of Teflon and fuond both the V-Cap and Platinum to be excellent contenders. Just different.
I have sent out Platinum's to a handful of V-cap Teflon users (mostly OEM's) and all have switched to the Platinums. Most stated that they liked them both very well but the biggest difference was the price. The Sonicap Platinum's are less than half the price of the V-cap Teflon. Then with quantity price breaks at 25, 50, and 100 they get vary reasonable.
I have been giving some special pricing to some OEM's on standard Sonicaps too, with mixed piece pricing for repeat customers.
I have really liked using the Gen.2 Sonicaps as by-pass caps in speakers. I have been stocking a .1uF in 200 VDC just for that application. They retail for only $2.70 each and there are price breaks on those too. They're unbeatable in that price range.
Al's these are the ones you've been getting. They're Gen.2's.
