Why FT-3 Teflon?

FT-3 capacitors are famous for their exceptional transparency, neutral tonal balance, and massive soundstage. Unlike standard polypropylene or paper-in-oil capacitors, Teflon dielectrics offer incredibly low loss and high heat resistance.

Key Benefits for Audio

• Matched Performance: Essential for maintaining perfect stereo imaging and balance in dual-mono or stereo tube amplifiers.
• High Voltage Headroom: The 600V rating makes them perfect for interstage coupling in tube amps or high-voltage power supply bypass.
• Military Grade: Built to rigorous Soviet military standards with hermetic glass-to-metal seals to prevent leakage and aging.

Applications

Ideal for high-end tube amplifier coupling, preamp signal paths, and speaker crossover bypass applications where only the highest sonic purity is acceptable.
