You may already know that our fellow, Big Pope, or I rather comfort to call his original name, Joe, (please don't edit his email address, Topcat, read my entire post), is supplying what he call the "king of capacitor".
The spec of his caps is pretty good, although that's on paper. I will not saying that the reality is different, indeed his caps is excellent on duty as some of us have already try it for - still - a short periodic. (Me, trodas, davmax, chris1992, and other that I can't remember, it seems I late in rejoining this forum),
I think Topcat is right that Joe too aggressive in promoting his Samxon on this forum board, because....
- Samxon could be an excellent product that only works for short period, example 2-3 year, and that would be disaster. Building a brand image is so hard\difficult. No shortcut. Testing reliability in a long term for one product is something that only an expert (or they who care) can do. You may research a product in year A, and marketed it in year B. You promise that it will last to year E. I would call that bullshit (for al electrolyte caps, though). Nothing wrong with the marketing/data sheet words, I would trust that product only for 75% (of my trust) if it made by good known brand like Chemi-Con, Rubycon, Sanyo and else. But my trust for Samxon only 50% even though I really satisfied with Samxon caps (if it used for overclocking project, the result is similar/slightly better than using Rubycon MBZ/Sanyo WG <- only my experiences for short periods).
BUT, I like if there are a new challenger beside of Japan manufacturer, add to that a cheap price (although I can get Chemicon KZG or Rubycon MBZ for really really cheap in where I live).
I really disagree with what Topcat do of banning Joe from this Forum. Although I think that's because he (Topcat) can't successfully advice Joe to stop his promoting of Samxon caps.
My opinion is:
- Let the world -- at least the people who visiting badcaps forum -- know that Samxon caps exist; the performance is excellent, the reliability is unknown. (Take note to the word I bold).
- Let people, who understand that, and may want to try Samxon caps, to know where/who he can get Samxon caps from. In this matter, it is Joe (censored_temporarily at gmail.com).
- We try Samxon. We see how it does. We tell what the reality based on our experiences. But we shouldn't take Samxon to a level degree of Japanese brand/manufacturer. The time is not enough to tell. For us, overclockers/enthusiast, we have no problem (we know the risk) if our hardware broken after one or several year of trial using Samxon. But what will happen after some period of time if someone who visits the forum now tries Samxon in his equipment which is use for task in field like medical, aeronautical, or other critical mission? I am a man whose job is in science field, that's the way of my thinking: base everything on white and black, although my love is often on the grey area (
). Hell, for oc, performance for only one two years is not bad at all. But this is only my opinion.
I think this is what I can seriously think about this matter. I still a bit feeling fuzzy after driving about 200km, and then watching Football World Cup matches and still too much adrenalin in my blood to get me sleep. I hope I made my points and everyone understand it. I'm not meaning to offense anyone, especially Topcat, yes I defense Joe but that merely because I interested in Samxon caps, and I will be disappointed if we 100% banned it (Samxon caps) from this forum. English is not my mother tongue so please have patience if something looks offensive I can guarantee that it is not my meaning.
I expect everyone here to throw one - two opinions about this.
Thanks.

But I think you just ask the question out of curiosity. I guess that's unavoidable, someone has to ask it. So, thanks..
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
