Clarity Cap CMR Impressions

Great to hear. :) Wait for the end of the first 100 hours though. :) Lots of caps and electronics sound extra dynamic at first and mellow out.

Best,

Erik

@dmhenley Wouldn't that be nice?

I wish there was. I did speak to Norbert Mundorf at a show, promoting the 30th Anniversay edition speaker kits. He was pretty convinced capacitors changed sound quality when new, but we never got into any "why's" about it.

Audio Research has started promoting the idea of taking around 400 hours for their SS gear to break in. I assume most of that is in the caps.

Heh, yes it would...but not knowing - it won't keep me from enjoying the music ;)

Hey @dgarretson

Question, do you have any expectations for how the CMR vs. MR compare in terms of ESR? I'm wondering how close they are to drop-in replacements for each other so I can gauge if I'll need to make adjustments to a tweeter filter.

Thanks,

Erik

Hi Erik,  I'll try to get that info from Factory.  What capacitance values and voltage rating are you using in your application?

Hi Darren, Glad that CMR works for you.  I'm hearing improved tone and texture as well.  As Erik mentions, the splashiness will calm down as they break in.
