No, these use tin, not aluminum.

Hi RATs!

Subject caps now have 300+ hours of playing time. They are very
pleasant. Perhaps more so, as they "burn in", but, let us be fair, it
is hard to do double blind testing of the same devices at different
points in time. Maybe I am learning to appreciate them more! (But, I am
doubtful I am learning anything, at my age ...)

I only bought these caps because a neighborhood old audio fool I have
learned to believe over the years (and I trust everybody, but, believe
nobody, except a few, on occasion...) bought some and was pleased.

No one showed me real measurements I wouldn't care if they are
cleverly disguised inner chewing gum wrappers rolled into capacitor
looking packages. I like how they sound.

And, I know someone who has an Audio Precision system in his home. He
gives me lots of good advice. He never mentions his toy gives him the
insight of God Almighty. Perhaps he is too wise for such silly
posturing

Changing anything in my Audio Dungeon may affect my perception of
Music. I may notice 8^0

Changing nothing in my Audio Dungeon might be good for earnest
evaluations of components, but I Ching is a rascally Coyote ...

I enjoy Music through cheap SS amps and cheap speakers, too. I do not
think they sound the same as my fancy stuff, but, Music hath charms to
soothe the savage technoid.

I enjoy the Quest. I enjoy the comradery. I suffer the neo-wizards
lightly. Forgive them, Father, they just like to talk, too ... just
like me.

Happy Ears!
