The title says it all. I have a phono preamp which seems to be based on the FVP5 schematic, and on the 15nF position, there is a 10% tolerance WIMA.
Would like to replace it with a more adequate capacitor, so was hoping to pick minds on a very good capacitor for that position. Sourcing links would be very welcome.
I was only able to find a 0,015uF Mundorf Gold/Oil, but that one is upwards of 40EUR, and was hoping to explore some other options prior.
Thanks!

Hi Insides ...
would this here be good enough ?!

If you looking for accuracy you could parallel 10 x 150nf this will give you 15nf with much greater accuracy
Teflon film & aluminium foil 0.015uF 200V 1% 200V TexCap 43 or 400V 5% both 15$00 USD each, you can ask matched pairs to Mark:

Thanks, will look for a seller willing to ship here.
Doesn't ship outside US. 🙁
Only with 10% tolerances - tighter tolerances would require special orders and larger quantities.
I see AuriCaps come in 0.015uF and have between 0.5% and 2% tolerance - but no one seems to stock them. Looks like I might be stuck with high priced options unless I can get matched Russian PIO's.
Found these:
Lot of 20 K42Y-2 0,015uF
But they don't specify tolerance. Would a lot of 20 be sufficient to discern two matched pairs, or should I go for the lot of 40?
Even if I go for the lot of 40, with shipping, that is still cheaper than a single Mundorf. 🙂
An update. Found and ordered 7.5nF 0.5% Silver Mica.
Claimed 0.5% tolerances and a lot of 20 to pick from should be quite sufficient. Here is a link to the item in question:
Silver Mica 7500pF 0.5%

Hi
I really doubt that it is possible to hear difference in tolerance of cap.......I work as sound engineer and must tell you that almost all gear is build with standard grade material. Even my midas H3000 console.......and of course if you want to save some money, at farnell you can find something 5% or 2%. Buy 10 pieces and make pairs. This is probably more important than exact value......
Best regards

Cap tolerance is not a big issue but you must match pairs until you get the correct values.
The lower the tolerance the harder it will be to find a matched pair 😀

That's true. I agree. If you check farnell there are I think some really cheap and quality caps from panasonic........and with only 2%.....
