Along with tube amplifiers and other 'out of date' audio technology, these paper in oil signal capacitors have helped revolutionize the hi-fi world. Back in 1987 I returned from a European buying trip hand carrying the first shipment of Jensen paper in oil audio signal caps to reach these shores. Thanks to our efforts over the years, these fine sounding capacitors have also become popular worldwide with high end guitar techs, tube audio amplifier artisans and more enlightened recording studio equipment techs. We recommend these caps wholeheartedly for both vintage and new tube gear. Expensive, yes, but worth it.
All of the ANGELA and Audio Note paper in oil signal capacitors we sell are manufactured in Denmark by Jensen. Please note that Jensen capacitors branded "ANGELA", "Jensen" or "AUDIO NOTE" (or any other brand name for that matter...) are identical in every way except for the superficial exterior markings. The terminal end which is connected to the outside foil is the end with the line on the marking. Some customers like to connect the outside foil to the "low" voltage end because, even though it is very small, there is a capacitance value between the housing (aluminum tube) and the winding inside, and connecting the cap this way will minimize this capacitance. (Personally, I don't think this is significant.)
For the record, we note with amusement the increasing number of competing capacitor marketeers desperately claiming that their plastic offerings sound 'as good as' the paper in oil capacitors we've been selling for twenty years now. Thanks for your continued support, guys!
.1/630VDC, 35mm long x 16mm
diameter This value was used originally in old Fender
guitars and basses but most modern players feel that it rolls off the
highs too much, a relic from the days when guitar
players had to 'double on bass'. EACH $16.
Could these be the best signal
capacitors ever
made? Many amp builders and guitar technicians all over the world think
so. Made by Jensen in Denmark, these paper in oil signal capacitors
feature
oxygen free copper foil and solid silver lead wires.
These copper foil caps set the standard for a natural and realistic
presentation
of music. Yes, they're a little bit better than similarly constructed
aluminum
foil paper in oil capacitors. These are my personal favorite signal
capacitors
for my own audio projects; I've even got one in the tone circuit of my
Telecaster.
.001/630VDC,
28mm long x 14mm diameter. EACH $10.
.0082/630VDC, 28 long x 14mm
diameter (we
also have some
branded
Audio Note that are 22 x 9mm). EACH
$10.
.01/630VDC, 28 long x 14mm
diameter. EACH $13.
.015/630VDC, 25mm long x14mm
diameter. I like
the .015 value for 'woman tone' from humbucker and P-90 equipped
guitars.
Try this in place of a .022, roll the tone control back ALL the way and
prepare to be knocked out. EACH $19.
.022/630VDC, 35mm long x 14mm
diameter. This
is the value
traditionally
used with Gibson humbucking pickups since the '50s. Some folks also
like
this value for Strats, especially in 'Super Strats' with a humbucker in
the bridge and single coils in the middle and neck positions.
EACH
$22.
.047/630VDC, 35mm long x 16mm
diameter. My
favorite value tone
cap for Teles, Strats and Fender basses. Virtually the same as obsolete
".05" value found in many classic guitars and basses. EACH $22.
.1/630VDC, 35mm long x 18mm
diameter. This
value was used originally in old Fender
guitars and basses but most modern players feel that it rolls off the
highs too much, a relic from the days when guitar
players had to 'double on bass'. EACH $23.
.15/630VDC,
33mm long x 22mm diameter. This value
is used mainly for coupling between stages in tube audio amplifiers.
EACH $23.
.22/630VDC, 35mm long x
25mm diameter. Very popular as a coupling capacitor in tube audio
projects. EACH $27.
.47/630VDC, 35mm long x
35mm diameter. EACH $29.
Pair Matching Is Usually Available For $5.00
Additional Per Pair. Quad Matching Is Also Usually Available For $15
Additional
Per Quad.

-40 degrees centigrade to +125 degrees centigrade. Every NEW Sequa
capacitor
we sell is tested at THREE TIMES the rated voltage for ten seconds.
