Dear friends: Outstanding, overwhelming, wonderful, paramount, astonishing, incredible, marvelous, gorgeous, facinating, jawless, amazing, ligth years a head, orders of magnitude, impressive, stunning, startling, sensational, unexpected, etc, etc.
Does not exist one single adjective that can explain or tell us the unimaginable so high quality performance levels when we use true/real extreme low distortions/colorations capacitors in speaker crossovers: no matters what.
All those adjectives are not enough to explain it and in this new audio world the real meaning of those adjectives is too a NEW meaning and not the " normal " old audiophile meaning.
No one boutique expensive and " stupid " capacitor is good enough even to mention it against: KEMET or WIMA. All are true bs trash.
In the other side the capacitor learning lessons are not finished yet but now I know the true meaning of the engineering levels behind all these true capacitors as those named: KEMET or WIMA and some others down there.
Boutique caps are: one cap for any audio needs, no matters if is for speaker crossover, power supply, low level signals or coupling ( you name it. ).
Look how many kind of caps by its specific work to be used exist ( we can test any of them. ):
AC and Pulse Film Capacitors, , DC Link Film Capacitors, Electronic Equipment Film Capacitors, General Film Capacitors, Motor Run Capacitors, Power Factor Correction Film Capacitors, RC Snubber Film Capacitors, RF and Power Film Capacitors, RF Microwave Film Capacitors, SMD Film Capacitors , Snubber Film Capacitors, Stacked Film Capacitors, Suppression Film Capacitors , etc, etc.
or the termination type:
Axial Insert, Threaded, Lug, Quick Connect, Radial, Screw, SMD/SMT, Snap In, Solder Lug, Stud Threaded, Terminal Block ,Terminals Screw Wire , etc, etc.
Exist over 56K diferent film capacitor models by several manufacturers and on each specific manufacturer model exist diferent configurations/versions depending what we need ! ! ! !
One for all ! ! ? ? no way my friends.
Till today I tested diferent caps models coming from five diferent manufacturers. What a learning experiences that is a must to have for any true audiophile interested in MUSIC.
@grannyring , Paul erik and friends please enligth us all the engineering behind the boutique and expensive caps. From where came those extremely prices when those caps are heavy colored due to its inherent way high distortion levels.
I already posted here data sheets from WIMA and Vishay and we can take a look inside the Kemet or TDK or AVX sites data sheets and you will understand where belongs the true caps engineering against the $$$$$$ ones.
Gentlemans, the worst blind human been is the one that does not want to see. Don’t you think? because through this thread are posted facts that proves with out doubts the superiority of WIMA, KEMET and the like over those boutique caps where at least in this thread no one of you posted any single fact of its false superiority: where are those facts? ? ?
Regards and enoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
