Hi guys!
Does anyone knows something about
Mundorf Supreme Silver Oil caps. I
would like to maybe buy them and put
as my coupling cap's at the end of my
TDA1543 DAC.
Have anyone tried them out?
Thanks in advance

I read the link but when I read "motor run caps" in the context of using them in a DAC I think it is quite comical.

You seem to want silver foil caps but BG N series 4.7 uF are OK on that spot and a lot smaller( and probably less expensive ).

I'm using Siemens MKV in my DAC and it never appeared to me those were motor run caps. Also, from what I tried so far, they sound the best.

BG N are not bad either, but no match for MKV.

Yes I saw that to but they were talking about Mundorf supreme oil. and Siemens epcos motor run if I remember right- first I replied with thanks and than I went reading it- my second thought was to try 4,7uF like in Nonoz III.
Also I have looked in some Auricap's Metallized Polypropylene - they are not so expensive (9$ on parts connexion) and maybe better than BG's?
I haven't tried non of them out and I am trying to save my money not buying what will not sound right. I know BG's are good but maybe this is better?
Or something else what could be found on Parts connexion for a reasonable price..... (I will order some parts from there so either it will be BG's or something else)

Where did You buy those MKV's- I saw that You used them ever since You made Your TDA1543 dac.....

I bought them from here: NOS Siemens MKV high-voltage PP in Oel caps for sale

jean-paul · 12th January 2004, 10:19 PM

IIRC I have some 22 uF 600 V MKV ( oil filled with the M10 or 12 bolt ) and although they are very good in speakers it never came into my mind to use them in a DAC. I will try them once, only problem is that that they are like a cola can scaled down 1:1.5.

I have had good results with the blue Siemens 2.2 uF MKT ( 5 mm pitch ) too. My problem is that I want best value for money so trying real expensive caps is something my brain can not compute

I have a dealer of buerklin in town - I will go and ask him if he has something for me and also search at www.buerklin....... thanks
