NOTICE - Black Gate is out of production.  This is not a false alarm like we have seen in the past.  If you do not see it below, our inventory has dried up.  
 
     
 
Black Gate capacitors are merely the best electrolytic audio capacitors 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 the high performance DC model.  Extremely low noise. Please note that many of the "F" caps found in other places on the net are known to be 15+ years old. We declined an offer to buy them based mainly on their shelf age.
