Yes, it is a common deal and it is possible very frequently to get a bunch of the Vitamins Q for very little money. Thanks God that no one from Sprague pay (paid) to market-makers to drool about the Vitamins’s sound and therefore the wide majority of Morons do not know about the Vitamins Q’s sound. Also, what keeps the Vitamins Q in shadow is the fact that they sound extremely horrible for a first 5-6 days…

There are two type of low voltage Vitamins: withy chasses connected and chasses lifted. I prefer the chasses (the body of the cap lifted). Also the 1uF Vitamins are not 1uF but very slightly less. If you put 8 of them together then you will not have 8uF but more likely somewhere like 7.5uF. Have a few small values Vitamins ready to parallel them with the rest bundle in order to get the exact value you need.

Another very interesting idiosyncrasy of the Vitamins is that they most likely love current. The Vitamins do very fine in speaker-level crossover but when they use in line–level as coupling caps then do not do well. Listen many Shindo units and you will hear what I mean.

Also you will see some sealers advertise this caps as “Vitamins Q” but they are not the Vitamins Q. They have a very similar contrition and identical “vintage” look but they have no letter “Q” on them. There were a number of companies that did them (I have a many of them) but those caps have no Sprague “Vitamins Q” impregnation. Therefore always ask for a picture of the caps you buy or a conformation that it has the “Q” written on them. I anticipate that if the Vitamins’ popularity will go up then we will see some counterfeited caps with Vitamins Q making….
