Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps


looking to upgrade my B&W 602s3s

ClarityCap MR's will be catching on in a big way once their exposure is a little greater.
I think you're right, Mazda-Man. I currently have the MR caps in the outputs of my TP 2.0n preamp with a little over 250 hours on them and I am going through an ear-opening experience. These MR caps just keep getting better with time.
Ditto Sherod: I'm at 500 hours of MR on tweeter and 100 hours of MR on mid/woofer of Merlin VSM. Both sections of crossover keep improving and sounding more open, dynamic, seamless, and natural across FR.
Any further updates on the Claritycap MR performance characteristics? I now have about 350 hours on mine in the outputs of my preamp and they seem to continue to relax, open up and allow the music to flow through. As close to sounding like "no cap" that I've yet heard in this position. I am very impressed and pleased with this new Claritycap MR line. That 2-year research and development program ICW did on these was well worth their time and financial investment, imho. (O:
Sherod,
Thats the exact same application I first heard them in.. A Tube Pre output cap, 1 uF stereo pair. Excellent from day one, trounced the Auricaps originally in the unit, and all that followed, the Jantzens, the top line Mundorfs etc... Nothing wrong with them, and the bass(low frequency) foundation of these in a full range application like that is just scary!

I have sinced put them in for a friend similar application, same excellent results, and re-fitted a cheap MC phono stage with them that made it go from a 300 dollar sounding unit to a 5000 dollar sounding unit! I mean in a phono and simple tube preamp there is not much else there accept the absolute quality of the tube and caps, so you can really work wonders with these simple designs.
