Dear friends
God bless you all
Many thanks to one of the forum member who help me a lot to improve and upgrade my mark levinson gear.
However I came to a little conflict and all of you who experienced different capacitors in a circuit can give a good advice
In all the old mark levinson the capacitors are not part of the signal path but a reservoir for it's power supply.
However in the 32 preamp mark levinson chooses to work with sanyo os-con polymer capacitors which known for its very high ripple current and very low esr.
I have recap those os-con by nichicon polymer the sound is super dynamic and full of energy but less articulate and refined.
I have tried to replace those nichicon by electrolytic capacitors panasonic FS which always gave me very good sound.
With the panasonic the sound became refined and articulate but far less dynamic, less bass impact and less slam.
Now here is the question since electrolytic are better than polymer by its leakage current, why not using hybrid capacitors which have all the benefits of polymer and all the benefits of electrolytic ???
Did anyone experience with hybrid vs electrolytic
Or hybrid vs polymer ???
Many thanks for any reply
I wish you all happy new year
God bless you all
