Yes! The Starget series is just average quality.

For a little bit more money, you can get Elna Cerafine caps. The Cerafine series are made with fine ceramic powder (hence the name), and they are highly regarded in DIY circles. I really like the fact that they are completely silent. When you turn-on an amp, you never get a turn-on pop. The same goes for turn-off: The amp produces no PS noise. You simply get complete silence! That's very, very nice!

Elna Silmic caps are said to be even better than the Elna Cerafines. These have elastic silk fibers in them. However, I have not tried them. So I can't comment on them.

I tried about a year ago to find some silmics with no luck. Does anyone know where to get them. It seems they are almost impossible to get unless you are willing to buy about a 1000 of them.
