Has anyone here found a source for blackgate caps that aren't extremely expensive? Right now, i'm looking into modding my DI/O, and for the caps alone, it's going to cost me over 100 dollars! That's more than a paid for the DIO itself! So far, the cheapest source i've found is http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Me...Store_Code=RAM

Have you guys found anything more reasonable?

And yes, i do realize i'm insane putting blackgates into a DI/O...

Why not try silmic or cerafine instead? I think Black Gate are so expensive because they are not being produced any more.

Got any links for good prices for cerafines? They're good caps, better than the stock nichon ones for sure, i haven't found any great sources for 'em either

Welborne Labs

Their selection is somewhat limited.

welbourne sucks....they charged me $6 for shipping a 14$ item and they shipped it in a envelope with a $0.60 stamp in it, it took 2 weeks, and they responded my request of order status with a "it already shipped" ....i will never use welbourne again...

try Handmade electronics, their nichicons kz caps are cheap and they ship fast..

[edit]...i read somewere that in digital aplications sanyo oscons are the very best ....but they are hard to find

I like Handmade too, and Welborne can be a little unresponsive I agree.

Ebonyks, I got my cerafines from a guy in the UK advertising on eBay. Unfortunately he doesn't have an ad up right now.
