New 22u/16V WIMA film caps MKS2-XL

jean-paul · 10th December 2010, 10:25 AM

Yes, the rare but very good MKS2-XL series and also the largest value available in MKT 5 mm. Ideal replacements for electrolytic caps and possibly a worthy BG alternative.

They are out of production for some months now and they won't be in production again according Wima because of shortage of raw materials.

6,50 Euro a piece ex shipping.

Please send me a PM if you want these.

Here is the datasheet with the 22 uF still in it:

Hi all, got the batch today. If you need these please send me a PM.

All the best for 2011 !

More than half of the batch has been sold already. If you would like some of these I still have them for those that want them in small numbers. If you buy more than 4 pieces I will give a discount.

Jean-Paul, do you have any left?

jean-paul · 13th February 2011, 06:42 AM

Yes, I have a number left for sales. Send me a PM if you want some of them.

jean-paul · 25th July 2011, 07:42 PM

The last 20 pieces are up for sale. Get them before they will be unobtanium !

Hi Jean-Paul,

I sent a few emails last week and hear back from you. Hope allś well.

Hi, I have been busy but your caps are on their way. All is well, I hope you are OK too.

BTW I did a test (again) with these 22/16 MKS2-XL and when I tried them in a AK4396 DAC I could not hear a real difference when I DC coupled the DAC or when I used the Wima's as series capacitors. For a moment I thought I preferred the DAC with the caps but after switching both situations several times made clear that the difference was very very small. Too small to notice and too small for a description what the difference would be.

That means they're good IMO.

Sounds sweet. Am looking into trying one of those AKM DACs out. Thanks again for these.. Hope I can return the favor sometime.
