JB at the expense of the Monacor!
Yet you recommend the Mundorf MKP which is also a £3 cap, and yet at the 'humble' report scores less than my JB's!
Are you saying the Mundorf is superior to the JB even though it scores less points in the 'humble' report and is in the same price bracket? If so (?) why?
Please justify, thanks! - (facts and figures)
...have you actually tested both the JB JSX & Mundorf MKP in a Cary 100t DAC? If 'NO' (?) what leads you to this extraordinary conclusion?
OR R U just 'swayed' by the Mundorf brand name?

Really, it´s hard to offer some logical answer to this:
Wonder why schematics care to print capacitance and resistance values at all, instead of **brand**??
And why formulas ask for capacitance, resistance, voltage, stupid useless parameters, instead of **brand**?
Oh, almost forgot.
The other important parameter is **price**
Just noticed that "O,OLUF" probably means "0.01uF"
Not surprisingly, since in this view "letters" (brands) matter more than "numbers" (values) , but, hey, who wants to introduce Mathematics into this? 😱
Not surprised people gets fed up and leaves.
Pure nonsense and mumbo jumbo, no mention of cap properties, specially the often ignored *capacitance* (who would think that capacitance matters????), **all** that matters is **brand**.

I am. Having tested a significant number of different caps i keep buying Mundorfs. Mlytics, Tube Caps, Silver&Golds...very consistent in most ranges. Use several Mcaps and Evos in the very delicate fixed bias supply in my power amp, 4-pole Mlytics in the plate PS. Much more expensive caps made room for these.
And yes, i am aware that Mundorf probably rebadge industrial caps too (F&T). Doesn't matter, the type of sound just works for me. With the exception of the oil-filled types as i am allergic to oil.
The internet is a great resource to get general directions, but i cannot see how other peoples opinions can influence your final decision. I would try a few caps before committing...everyone's perceptions in this are different and there is no "safe" choice. Comparing caps on a 10 point system is just ridiculous.
Sorry, forgot to provide the link:Humble Homemade Hifi - Cap Test - "Sonic Craft Sonicap GEN-I MKP 220VDC - 5% tolerance"
it does actually say "0,01uF " ...don't know what happened when I used copy/paste? Sorry!
The same kind of remark is used several times throughout that report!!
Many thanks, you opinion is valued! ~ Price & brand must be everything then? LOL/'not'!!

Looks like it is actually a 15 point system! (@ humble). This is not my only consideration, I use several other 'caps' papers on the subject too! Yes, I probably will end up trying a few, as you say there is no safe bet in this respect. I am taking into consideration: internet 'papers', forum opinion, any other source of evidence, size, capacitance, voltage, Tan Delta, Q Value, ESR, reactance, ripple, impedance, longevity, leakage, (price/brand?) etc.
Thanks for the Mundorf endorsement!!
