Agreed! I do like the new PIO or PIW (Wax) caps today from Duelund and Jupiter better, but they are crazy expensive. I use the NOS Russians, the 75 series, in crossovers. When I can afford it I go for the Jupiter copper foils in my upgrades.
Capacitor rolling.
My son is getting to the Audio World. Bought a Vincent Hybrid Pre-Amp and Vincent Hybrid Amp.
Both us MKP Film caps on each signal line-out paths. He wants a little more warm from the/voice- strings
Audio Note offers some of their Caps for those Cap rollers. In Silver/Gold./ Cooper &Alum foil.
Very pricey compared to MKP caps. 7 times+
By the way MKP is widely used by many high-end electronic audio gear Mfg because of their very-very neutral sound & fast transits. Has anyone in this forum have any feed back on CAP rolling? And Audio Note Caps??
Trust Me signal path Cap rolling can produce more changes than Tube rolling does in some cases..

The difference in sound, when reversing capacitors, is noise. And YES, it has everything to do with the inner and outer foil. Personally, I’ve always tested caps, with regards to their lead orientation and noise, even when marked. My Cast Copper PIO (coupling cap) Duelund’s leads were not marked(though pretty obvious), and supposedly, the design is not susceptible to noise. Like every other cap I’ve tested, they were. The goal is to connect the cap’s outer foil to ground(when applicable), or the signal source(lower impedance), to shield from induced noise. http://www.blueguitar.org/new/text/threads/from_adam/components/mallory-outer-foil.pdf and http://www.justradios.com/auriINSTALL.html |
