Well, was debating to get this or Eric's VS. After some research found out that HCGFA caps are most likely china-made fake/imitation caps.

These caps sound familiar, i have seen it in my really old radio when i open it 5 years ago.
Just wanted to find cap datasheet since I mod audio PCBs, wanted to know if this usa/jpn cap is of good quality and if it can be used for audio.
But uhh... Nope, nothing comforting. Apparently they are not in production and most / all in the market are imitations. TS has alot to prove.
Btw, Google gives me results for 'HCG FA'. But, 'RMHCG FA' which is used in the VS, not even listed. So...yah.
Can't blame TS if he strongly believes his part suppliers / diy friend is genuine. Anyways, innocent until proven guilty ya
