Audio Path Capacitors From Nichicon

[xykapec]

I read that people use low leakage capacitors for audio path.
For example Nichicon UKL.

What about all audio capacitors from Nichicon?
They are not really low leakage capacitors.
Can/should they be used in audio path?

Nichicon is not offering much use examples info about their capacitors families. For example "Selected materials to create superior acoustic sound" of UKA series is not telling much to me (same as to anyone of you guys, right?)

By the way, anyone heard of UKA? Are they same good as FG or other audio capacitors from Nichicon?

Thanks

These work pretty well, if you have to use electrolytic types for reason of size or uF value.
Low leakage is not the primary consideration in most applications.

"Suited for audio signal circuits.". As if other types arnt? Marketing. Where are the measurements? Or do they design these caps by ear.

Nichicon is an excellent manufacturer.
Of course

"Selected materials to create superior acoustic sound" of UKA series is not telling much

means nothing (like all similar claims) , it is not "a parameter" by any means, definitely not measurable, but they are losing sales to the "creative marketing" guys, so they write some of the (meaningless) words on some products ... or else.
Too honest to write much more, specially the "poetic" 🙄 descriptions.
For which I respect them.

Would you expect them to write about "granularity", "soundstage", "transparency", "blackness" and "micro definition"? 😀

I bet top management wasn´t very happy even with the mild "Audio capacitors" label. 😕

I think it would be the engineers not happy about it. "Top management" is all about making money regardless of how it's done.
