Polarity on the Infini cap?

Thanks for the reply Bigtee. I will follow the Kimber placement when I replace them. As you stated these have the color coded leads.

Anyone remember the old Sidreal Caps, the Kimber caps look suspiciously similar. Are they one in the same? Anyone know?

Not familar with them Maxgain. What I would like to know is what I should expect sonically with the Infini caps. Also what should the burn in time be? Thanks again.

A point about the idea that it should make no difference since the caps are passing an AC signal. A piece of wire could replace the cap if the only function was to pass the AC signal. Even though they are passing an AC signal, there is a difference of DC potential across the cap. They are called AC coupling caps in this application but they are really DC blocking caps used to isolate the DC potential between stages.

So the the orientation could make a difference.

Herman, I buy what your selling and it might make a difference in absolute terms(maybe.) However, as I stated earlier, manufactures say try them both ways. The Infinicaps are not marked for polarity and neither are many other caps. When they are of very small uF value, they will work either way. It is a matter of how the cap is manufactured in regard to construction of the dielectric. Some caps like this, it really doesn't matter which way they go. Kimber and Hovland use green and red leads for orientation, not polarity. Generally, you go with best sound. If it was a big issue, manufacturers would label the caps as such. Big power supply caps are another matter. That is why the have a definite + or - designation.
