I'd recommend the Miflex KPCU-03. Very nice sounding cap. I've used it for this same purpose.
High pass filter capacitors
I’m making a high pass filter between my preamp and amplifier. This will be on XLR Interconnects. I need a .047 uf value .
Looking for recommendations on what capacitor to use to have a good quality filter. I don’t want to spend lots of money on a new preamp and trash it with low quality caps. I also don’t want to spend $300 per cap if it’s not necessary.
If the goal is to "Remove the main speaker woofer work" this mod will probably do more harm than good. Especially adding phase shift to the upper frequencies. This affects the imaging and soundstage as well. Paul McGowen discusses in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmZTXn2NHLY

gdaddy1 Thanks for the video. I haven’t seen that one. |
In this range of capacitors, there are a number of excellent brands of caps for far less than $300. Audyn TruCopper, and even some excellent Duelund models like this one. I strongly recommend you practice however using like $2 poly caps first, just to make sure you have the right values and wiring. Also, I think Parts Express has some modular XLR adapters. They are like M to F adapters but you can shove little parts inside. Perfect for this type of prototyping. |
