So here is my question then: if not tantalum, then what?
I've always been told that aluminum electrolytic caps were cheap stuff that
doesn't last and that tantalum caps are much better and (that was the claim)
eternal. So I guess this is wrong. What is the truth then? Is it the other
way around? Or are they both bad? And why are so many people, including on
this list, saying "aluminum electrolytics are cheap crap, use tantalum"?
And what are the *good* caps to use?
