I have not heard the Audio Note Kaiser, but read they are very good sounding.

Hi @grannyring , Yes ClarityCap are great! But I don't have enough space under the hood of my amplifier to put ClarityCap in drivers (6f6g) and input (6sn7) tubes B+s. So, I decided to try Mundorf Mtube 30uF capacitors in these positions. (I don't have space for bigger non electrolytic capacitors). What I don't like in sound after installing Mundorf capacitors: Images of instruments in sound-stage become too forward. I also feel that amplifier emphasis mid-range too much. My thoughts and questions about it are: 1. A focus of instruments is not as stable as with 100uF Nichicons. So I think it is probably 30uF capacitance too low for 6f6g driver tubes? 2. Or probably, Mundorf Mtube capacitors need more break-in time? 3. Or maybe, it is the specific sound signature of these capacitors that doesn’t much well to my system sound? Regards, Alex. |
Hi @zipost , I use CLCRCRC filter: C1-L-C2-R1-C3-R2-C4 C1 is 30uF Mundorf polypropylene. I used it for many years and I like results. I don't want to use bigger capacitor because it is not good for my expansive GEC 5u4g. C2 is 2x 100uF Nichicon - 300B output B+. I used it for many years. Now I bypass them with 2 x50uF ClarityCap and I like result a lot! C3 is 2x 30uF Mundorf polypropylene - 6f6 driver. (Previously I used 100uF Nichicon) C4 is 2x 30uF Mundorf polypropylene - 6sn7 input. (Previously I used 100uF Nichicon). So, all my previous questions are about C3 and C4. Regards, Alex. |
Hi @zipost Thank You a lot ! Here are some my system YouTube videos. So, you can get some appreciation about it: https://youtu.be/K3aMCNAD3C8 https://youtu.be/Bu-1uXRnmWE https://youtu.be/x6iL3yEQOFs https://youtu.be/mpozf8b8COE Regards, Alex. |
