Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps


looking to upgrade my B&W 602s3s

Yes, I agree. This Claritycap MR has a completeness to it when used as a single, full-ranged cap. The bass is indeed outstanding, as well as the rest of the frequency spectrum, up into the stratosphere.
Regarding frequency response to the "stratosphere", I will add that when I went back in to make further mods to my crossover, I removed a .01uf/200V Russian teflon bypass cap that I had been using across Claritycap MR in the tweeter section-- and noticed slightly less HF extension & air. I'm going to run in the solder some more and then try reintroducing that small teflon bypass cap.
Russian Teflon FT-2 .015UF/200v bypass caps in the signal path are the finest sounding IME. I'm using the FT-1's in the power supply as those don't quite thrill me in the signal path. I've yet to hear a single output coupling cap that beats out a well experimented combination of caps.
Actually it was the .015uf/200V FT-1 that I was using to bypass MR in tweeter. From what I can tell, the 1/2/3 suffixes in the NOS Russian FT- series are used to distinguish between voltage and capacitance values. In construction and performance the three models in the series seem about the same. There is also a lesser teflon series(K-72?).

On the other hand, in my preamp outputs, I've yet to hear any combination of caps that beats out a single cap of equal performance. (O:)
