Input Decoupling Cap

elektrobeyin · 13th May 2011, 07:43 PM

Hi, this is my first message on this forum. I like so much this website. I'm a student from Turkey so my English isn't so good.

I have built RAS10 Class A single ended amplifier. My question is I have got 2 decoupling caps and these are Nichicon Muse 10 mf 25V and Arcotronics MKP 10mf 250V. Which one should i use? Or which one is better for this amplifier?

I'd use the film cap.

Thanks for helping, i tested both of them and i think MKP is better. I like mid sounds and MKP sounds better so i will use MKP.

Yes, ELECTROBRAIN, film caps will usally sound better than any electrolytic cap(even expensive electros) . MKP/polyproplene is one of the best non-polar caps.
