Hi all!
Thinking of replacing all the polyester MMK caps in my amp with polypropylene.
Are the Evox MMK actually good and this is not worthy the trouble, or will I get a significant improvement?
Also, has anyone actually tried Xicon MPP, or ever compared to Wima MKP10 or Ero/Vishay MKP, Panasonic ECW, Orange Drops 715/716 or what else do you recommend?

U should replace them. It will sound good. Don't know about the Evox MMK.
However, many polypropylene types r available and the costly audio ones(made for audio) sound much better. What is worth is upto u to decide.

I've used Evox MMK for the input cap on a large proportion of my DIY amps. I started using them because were used on the original AKSA and Lifeforce amplifiers which had good sonics.
I've tried Mundorf M-Cap Supreme, Auricap, several different brand MKT, Blackgate NX, Nichicon ES, Wima (?) etc as input caps and very hard to pick differences. The electrolytics had a slightly different flavour which can help voice an amp if desired but really no better or worse depending on your taste.
MMK are a handy size and you don't get long leads that can pick up rubbish.
I think it's more important to use the correct value and I have read somewhere (?) the spec voltage of the cap is best kept low for signal use..... right or wrong I have no idea.

U have to hear it(the different types/makes) to believe it and this exercise is costly.
