The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ??

Haven't yet tried the Duelund or Jupiter copper foils, but oh I so want to.

I would try Clarity CMR for the most neutral and high value.

I have issues with the fanciest Mundorf Supreme's. THey tend to scintillate, or hype up the mid to treble. It's not unpleasant, but to my ears far from neutral.

Mundorf MKP's are real steals and great for low level detail when you also need a noticeably dark cap.

Of course, check the physical sizes before you buy anything! :)

So you mean the caps are easy to mechanically deform? For instance, squeezing them along the length?

Never handled a cap that delicate!

I've never seen any film cap that wasn't hermetically sealed. This is very weird.

I mean, if not sealed, then really any change in atmospheric pressure or humidity could change it's value over time.

I have been in touch with Chris over at V-Cap and it seems I am somewhat corrected. Turns out hermetically sealed caps are more rare than I thought, but that still doesn't make them subject to atmospheric effects like I had surmised.

I hope he will post here shortly.

Best,
