What does this describe?

It "sets the reference for accuracy, neutrality, low distortion, and musicality"

and

it has "exceptional inter-transient silence, high mechanical stability and low leakage."

The last few words may give it away - yes it is a (metallised polypropylene) capacitor!! What is more they range from 0.022uF (or 22nF to you and me) at GBP4 to 10uF at GBP21 each.

Same outfit sells a 'contact suppressor and VDR" for the princely sum of GBP5.90 where the actual components from RS or Farnell, even in one offs, will cost less than 50p!!

I will not publish the company name, but Yell finds the them in Kendal under hi-fi........

How do you have your news reader set up? It is impossible to tell
which bits are yours, and which are the stuff you are replying to.

Actually when the mail arrived it had thick black lines down the side.
I don't know what put them there and I could neither get rid of them
nor stop them extending as I typed - so I left them as they were.

Hence why the layout looks odd.
