about mkp capacitors

umut1001 · 4th December 2008, 06:45 PM

hi..i am modifiying my denon amp..there is elna tonerex input caps in it..i want to change them with film capacitors.i used arcatronics mcap capacitor.it sounds very good but i wanna try again.i have ero mkt1813,ero mkc1860 and arcatronics mcap capacitors..someone says ero mkc is very good..i dont know..which one is the best capacitor for audio inputs?..thanks

Hi,VISHAY MKP1837(+/-1%),VISHAY KP 1830(+/-1%) ranges are the most transparent and neutral I have tried.I am sure though there are others too.

thanks for reply..but i need more than 1uf..

Hi,try for AMPOHM FP-CA series of audio caps.This range will cover from 1uf up to 10uf (630V,+/-5%)

They are hand wound,and have very low ESR and low inductance.They are axial shape and fairly large.

some say ero mkp and mkc is one of the best ones..i dont know..i cannot find ampohm capacitors?where can i buy them?

Have a look at: www.farnell.com

and also another question.there was 47uf elna tonerex cap for feedback.when i short circuit amp starts to give large dc to the output.can i use mks4 wima 68uf capacitor as a feedback capacitor instead of bipolar nichicon muse es?thanks

If the original ELNA was a polarized type,I think it is better to use a polarized one.Nichicon MUSE are very good caps,but use a polarized one just to be safe

i am now using nippon chemicon bipolar cap 100uf

what will be the problem? does bipolar have pole ?

it has a longer wire :S is it + pole ? thanks

there was 40mv DC on the elna
