Actually, we only looked at a handfull of caps.  At the time (late 1999) 
there were only a few manufacturers out there making foil caps that were 
known to be good.  CDE was one of them (Robin Copini used a smaller version 
on his 10kVAish coil Down Under).  We were unable to get ahold of the Wima 
folks, and Panasonic turned down our proposal.  CDE was practically jumping 
at the opportunity to help us; and there began our relationship with 
CDE.  That the CDE caps have turned out to be exceptionally good was 
actually completely serendipitous.
