Has anyone tried these for coupling purposes in amplifiers?

Yes - they are our preferred coupling caps of all that's available at the moment that we have tried, and they are a great price compared to some others.

Supremes sound coloured in comparison - but with no more *real* detail.

> Also, the Supremes are supposed to be non-inductive; does this mean that directionality is not important? <

IMO - this is a bunch of advertising BS. All their caps (and most everyone elses too) are end welded across all the windings so the inductance is pretty much the same as a piece of wire of the same length - and also impossible to measure in the presence of so much capacity. Their "inductive cancelled" caps use actually two caps internally connected in series - how this cancells inductivity I really don't know and their PR certainly doesn't tell you! I prefer to have only one cap if I'm having a cap - not doubling up...

If caps are directional - it's not from any inductivity.
