NOTICE - Black Gate is out of production.  The inventory you see below was the last product shipped and represents the freshest stock available. All Black Gate sales are final. No returns will be accepted under any circumstances.  
 
     
 
Black Gate capacitors are merely the best electrolytic audio capacitors ever made!
  
     
 
 
  This series is similar to the K series except the N series is non-polarized.  Further, the NX is higher Q and improved over the N.  No other electrolytic cap made compares to this series.

  This series is for use with speakers (bi-polar).  They exhibit a slightly warm and rich sound, but with all the detail.  They work very well in situations conducive to this type of voicing. The AC series, as with all Blackgates, exceed the performance of many film caps.

  This series is the high performance DC model.  Extremely low noise. Please note that the "F" caps found in other places on the net are known to be 18+ years old. We declined an offer to buy them based mainly on their age, but also the fact that the "FK" is far superior.

  This is the higher DC voltage series of the FK.  They are very conducive to tube-amp power supplies.  Several are duplex units.

  This series is non-polarized with extended voltages. These allow pre-rectification filtering of AC.  Great symmetry for DC filtering.
