Let's talk audio capacitors

[Killingbeans]

elna silmic 2 can sound very flat
but the little burnin time, same properties rubicon blackgate.
100 hours.
then also comes much better bass, quite powerful I would say
as well as better 3 d

 

[SIY]

I would say

Yes, you would.

 

[doitttt]

there is an audible difference
I do not explain but it is there
rubicon black gate is kult

 

[JSmith]

I do not explain but it is there

You can explain it by performing a proper unsighted comparison test to find out if "it" is actually there or completely imagined.

Oh and well done on the 8 year old thread necro.

The military use what is called mil-spec stuff, and virtually all of the components are from the civilian sector. The main goal of mil spec is that things are tested to a common standard per the standards. For example, the capacitor mentioned at the top of this article would not be specified specifically for military use, a rather more common electrolytic would be used. When it comes to satellite and space stuff, there the standards are higher more due to the external condition extremes of temp and bombardment by radiation in space.

Rabbit trail… there’s a company near me that does radiation testing on components for satellites. All the components are shipped and packages of dry ice and then blasted with massive amounts of radiation to simulate decades of use in space. Occasionally the company will take the dry ice after blasting the component with massive amounts of radiation and make ice cream.
