Clarity Cap CMR Impressions

And thanks everyone for playing with me regarding these caps. I'm going to leave this project alone for a long time.

Perhaps if I get a sponsor to try some much more expensive copper foil caps I'll come back.

Best,

thank you erik.
a question: in the bass region MR vs CMR ?
you report high freq fatigue from CMR, but the ovreall timbre between both ?

Hi Audio,

The only problem I have with the CMR is that lesser sources which have any sort of stridency to them now show more clearly depending on programming. With the Mytek Brooklyn, this is NEVER a problem. With the Oppo 103 sometimes. Depends on what I'm watching. 

To my ears the CMR is the cooler of the two.

I have not tried the CMR in the woofer, plus since all those caps are shunts I tend to go cheap and stay with ESA caps.

i'm referring to bass perception due the the hith freq of CMR in comaprison to MR

Hi Audio,

I think the bass i that sense is really nice. You get a lot of the "surface" sounds of drums, of hands or sticks hitting the skins, and more of the body of acoustic instruments as well like violin's, guitars, etc.

I think the liveliness, open, easy breathing nature of the CMR contributes a great deal.

Best,

E
