Jentzen 12uf 400V crosscaps. Quantity 4.

Bought these from Parts Express and never used them. Still in plastic packaging. Black with gold graphics, a bargain if they sound half as good as they look. That's a joke - I have not heard them in a circuit.

$6.38 each from Parts Express plus shipping, a $35 value I would guess. $20 shipped. Don't make me use them for Christmas tree ornaments.

    Don't laugh at them. That value is a good sounding cap. Good Price.

    I have these caps in my 1Cs and they are nice sounding for the price, better than Solen or Dayton IMO. No, they are not Sonicaps, but they are a fraction of the price.

    I use the Jantzens in everything EXCEPT the tweeter circuitry. They sound very good. Much better than the original Polk parts and I've found no issues with quality, tolerance, or lead length. I love the longer leads on them and the sound quality is very good.
    Best of all it cuts the cost of rebuilding crossovers about 80% with great results.

    Thanks for the comments. These caps we bought for a crossover upgrade but the customer decided to go all sonicap at the last minute. Too bad because I was looking forward to hearing them.

    The point of my wisecrack above is that these are very finely turned out with nice gold printing on a gloss black shell. Second best looking cap on the market IMO.
