Which caps?

[Jonas]

I'm a bit confused... which caps suit best each aplication?

[smoguzbenjamin]

Depends what you want to do

[Jonas]

offcourse! but in general terms, for the most common aplications. for instance: coupling, filtering, etc...

I use 0.1 uF for almost anything but that's because I got a bag of about 50 of them for â,¬2,-

Hi Jonas,

for non polar caps, film caps are prefered because it is said that they sound better.  I think that there was a discussion on this in the forum.  Do a search on the forum to see if it turns up anything.

There are pictures of various types of caps in the FAQ:

Also read in the FAQ "Capacitors - What kind of capacitors should I use?"

Enjoy!
