** Still about 25 times the cost of 1% MF and of no benefit when the caps
used are only 1% tolerance.

** LCR Components make polystyrene caps of 1% tolerance & Farnell / Newark
sell them - among others.

$1.54 each in *one off* cheap enough for you - eh ???

** Really ???

1% tolerance * silvered mica * caps are available in values like 10nF for
big bucks.


BTW:

What the HELL is the point of your TEDIOUS BLOODY nit picking ????

Got nothing better to do with your life ??

Should improve things by about 30%.

Cheap enough. I've heard a lot of complaints about poor availability
of PS caps and PP caps.

Yeah, 18125A103FAT2A AVX 10nF 1% NPO in 1812 form factor, but about
five clams a pop in tens. http://www.avx.com/docs/Catalogs/ccog.pdf

Apparently, not at the moment, Phil. How about yourself?

The simple way is to mix them in a pot. (NPI)

(View in Couriers)

Sine----+

P
O<----output
T

Cosine--+

But this has an amplitude variation as you move the pot wiper around,
perhaps MooseFET knows a trick to eliminate the amplitude change.

If you make the phase angle "a" 100 degrees, you can make R1 a 10 turn
pot with a counter knob that sets the phase angle in degrees. With
the
right values for all the resistors, the gain is nearly constant and
the
phases nearly spot on.
