Hi DanielHope you got the recent e-mail I sent. We are about ready to fall off the edge of my screen so better end it here or start some other thread...:-)
I haven't tried the Oscons but they do seem to solve some of the problems with coiled-plate type caps. Philips makes a comparable solid aluminum electrolyytic I believe. The sound of the solid epoxy molded tantalum is pretty good as well when compared to typical electrolytics but values are somewhat low and they get expensive fast. Not in the same league as a well made film cap though, especially my favorite type which is a solid block of epoxy impregnated paper film.
By gyrator regulated PSU do you mean capacitor multiplying type circuits using a pass transistor? I have used similar schemes in the past but in recent times I have been directly regulating across the choke resistance using shunt regulators. This is the best I have tried out of many different designs including all manner of series type regulators. Nothing but copper from the rectifiers to the circuit load.
