yep-- i always measure first to get as close as i can get to a matched set (within a % or 2 at least!). luckily, for this application, i got 4 extras.. so i should be able to get close, and for all the sub- 1uF caps i have around for all the other experimenting, i oughta be able to dial in just right.
these appear to be the NON glass lined caps-- but the voltage is right, and the price sure was-- so i'm in a better position than i was with bad voltage and hovlands! no worries about line level usage at this point-- i'm still operating my amp full range, and probably will be for a while! so current they'll get..
i have actually written several advertisers of 'vitamin q capacitors' that were gudemans or west caps or pyramids or the like, and i asked them to advertise truthfully. most were relatively polite, but went back to their bullshit.. no surprise. having listened to quite a few of the 'vitamin q type' caps-- they do sound differently that i can tell.. but all of those that i use (except for breadboarding something new if i don't have the right values...) are the real deal spragues. that said-- a few of the crap peddlers on ebay'll just use that term to sell them-- but you can usually tell when they're face down in their pictures... luckily-- i've seen this format before, and i've also purchased from the same gent before as well, so i think i'm in good shape. thanks for the warning though!
4 bucks! sure beats the hell outa paying for something like jensens.. which i've never heard, and for the cost of them, probably won't. mebbe some day i'll be a rich guy in a rich guys game!
