What the reviewers say...

"After auditioning a wide variety of caps, I find these film-and-foil capacitors to be the most musical performers and by a large margin. The MusiCap specializes in textural liquidity (lack of grain) and delicacy of treble nuances."
Dick Olsher, Reviewer and Designer for Samadhi Acoustics, November 1996 white paper

"...the extra ambiance, combined with a very clean treble delivery that seemed far less prone to ringing or sibilance than the other types does make them really quite special."
Domini Baker, HI-FI WORLD SUPPLEMENT, August 1996

"If you want see-thru, high definition, detail and listen-ability, try the MusiCaps."
Joe Roberts, Editor, SOUND PRACTICES, Issue 6 1994

"The improved signal transmission of the Hovland foil capacitors elevated the [Ariel] speakers to a new level of naturalness, clarity, and immediacy."
Lynn Olson, POSITIVE FEEDBACK, Vol. 5, No. 4
