What do you consider as better between Evox MMK and Wima MKS2 (or MKS02)

Specifically in analog power supply decoupling applications. Thanks!

Equal?

No idea?

I've used both (but in different amplifiers) and have not tried to do any A/B comparisons. Now I would instead use the evox SMR's I also used them in the same amp as the evox MMK's, but in 2003 I was somewhat pioneering with respect to using PPS caps so only used them in some places, as I couldn't find any info on anyone who had used them in audio circuits at the time.

I agree!
SMR are superior to both the Wima MKS and other Evox types.
Btw. I´d rather use Wima MKP types for audio than MKS ones if possible.
Ányway now I´d prefer the SMR for decoupling puposes over any of the other types.
Wima also has a series of PPS types, but they seem to be difficult to find.

and how do you compare black gate N to PPS caps and Evox SMR, Evox MMK, Wima MKS used for decoupling
I have seen Wima polyester caps with 5 mm pitch and 22 uF / 16 V

Who sells Rifa SMR capacitors in US or Canada?
