Re: Are bad-cap brands getting better?
Capxon are very bad capacitors. I see them fail all the time...
Teapo and OST are probably ok, depending on the right series selection (not putting GP caps in place of entry level low esr caps for example) and how much heat they get.
And one question by me: Are Lelon capacitors getting better?
They even have a good bung now, in comparison to the cheap round bungs the majority of bad caps uses...

More reputable than DiabloTek and Apevia.
Uh...yes. Antec is for sure. OCZ is a little questionable at times, but still very good.
Now...on the subject at hand....Leave a comment:

Are bad-cap brands getting better?
I'm seeing a lot of reputable PC PSU companies are using some brands of caps that we would consider bad...but are they really that bad anymore?
OCZ, Antec and others...are using lots of CapXons, OSTs, Su'scons, Teapos etc.
I know back in the day, none of these, (maybe with the exception of Teapo), were any good. But even legitimate companies are using them.
None of them are Fuhjyyus by any stretch, but are they getting better?
On a side note, how are CapXon polymers?

Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

Been getting pretty tired of searching for and contacting PCB repair companies online. Filling out the company's Quote Request forms, explaining the problem, attaching photos then sending them out and hearing nothing back. Have done this at least 5 or 6 times and not one quote. Why is this? Don't these companies need or want the work? If anyone knows of a company that will do what they say, as in, supply a quote for a PCB repair. Or at least respond to me. Please let me know their name and contact information. I will be tremendously grateful. Thanks -
Howdy folks,
I recently got this PSU to replace the 250W Delta unit in my "Retro-PC workhorse" - the rig that I'm using for testing most of my retro stuff.

Hello guys,
there is a sticky thread with very impressive and long list of TV brands that use the same Vestel products. Is it fair to say that Panasonic, Philiphs, Telefunken and Vox are practically the same quality since same equipment is built into them?
I don't think that for example Vestel 17IPS20 is different for 40" Panasonic vs 40" Sharp or Blaupunkt.
Does this mean that the most important components (MB and PSU) are the same no matter what is written on the chasis? I know that there are very few manufacturers of displays in the world....
