My reference to air caps was purely a tongue-in-cheek reference to the voids in the coil. Of course the parasitic capacitance due to the propinquity of winding layers would dominate and here the dielectric is quite often Mylar.

It's just that the concept presented by gospodin Likhnitsky was entirely new to me and, since I guessed you must be familiar with Audio Magazine, you were likely to know more about this than the presented article.

Thank you for your valued observations Romy. It confirms that the air-vane approach is probably about as good as it gets, at least for us autodidacts. I'm hoping circumstances will allow me to complete my air-vaned 834 project in the next few days so I can get back to the music.

How problematic has vibration been for you? The vanes look more susceptible to this problem than wound capacitors.

Brian.
