Highly recommended SID filter capacitors, 1% tolerance!

[Wilba]

I just thought I'd share this with the MB-SID fans...

I bought some 22nF capacitors for my 6582 SIDs (equally good for 8580), they're sold as 2% tolerance but the code "F" at the end of the part number is 1%. They are mylar, not polystyrene, so there's no hassles with soldering them (my capacitors are socketed anyway). The great thing was it was so cheap that I bought 100 and sorted them by value and used 16 of the closest value (so even better than 1% tolerance, mine are all within 0.1nF, so 0.4% tolerance!). 22nF is the recommended capacitor value for 8580 and 6582 according to the datasheet, this is different from TK's use of 6.8nF, but after a lot of discussion, 22nF is the best for frequency range. These caps come highly recommended by me and TK hasn't complained yet about his, so they must be good!

Here's the link to them on eBay... for just US $4.50  ;D

Mylar Radial 0.022uF 100V 2% Polyester Capacitor 100pcs

I'm hoping someone else will copy my example, buy a pack of 100 pcs and share them around like I have  ;D
