What's the dielectric material of WIMA Black Box Audio Cap?
I've checked WIMA's website, but the Black Box is not listed in their product range. |

There's no MKP,MKT,etc markings like other WIMA caps

I don't think it's a fake (but it looks old). The shop which I bought it from said that it's polycarbonate (WIMA's best grade), but THLAUDIO (http://www.thlaudio.com/wimaitme.htm) listed it as polypropylene.:scratch: |

Hi Icceman,
Nice finding fellow Singaporen here.
Robert of AHFArtAudio told me that Larry HiFi sells these stuff. I saw it the first time btw in Robert's basket of discarded components.
Have you tried it ? Really curious of how it compared perhaps against WIMP MKP 10, ones I am more familiar. |

| I haven't tried it yet, but I'll be using it for a buffered preamp and would like to find out more about this "unknown" cap. |

It's also stated as metallized polypropylene in that website. |

Hi Icceman,
Managed to meet up with Robert of AHFArtAudio, this is what he said about this WIMA Cap.
It's a OEM product to Hong Kong, therefore it's not in the WIMA catalog.
Sound wise he says good midrange but sacrifices highs and bass.
That's all I manage to find out. |

| WIMA Black Box is actually enhance version of MKP10 for audio frequency range. MKP10 is old since maybe 50s but Black Box not. Sound quality is unique for people who like those type of sound. Maybe or maybe not your cup of tea. Different to telfon sound quality. Also their 630V range is much better than 400V range. |
