Sound: The Clarity Cap range have an overall similarity in tonal balance, going up the range you gain clarity and spaciality. I found the PX to be neutral with a slightly warmish presentation. Compared to a standard Mundorf M-Cap the stereo-image is a larger but less spacious than a Mundorf Supreme or Audyn Cap Plus. Clarity is a good step up from the PW and also the M-Cap. The price/quality ratio is very good. I can highly recommend this capacitor if you are looking for a nice, but not too expensive MKP.

Verdict: 8.5

thats still too expensive. COEM was runing a speical 2month ago on a aus hifi forum for $220AUD which is like $200USD?....if your a old customer you could prob get it for around that price

Mrjabba, reason y i didnt go for those caps is they;re like a OEM version and i'll prob get a firstwatt F1 later then make kingrex my preamp. but keep us updated on how much difference those caps make to the amp.

one more thing, daniel also mentioned that they will be offering to upgrade the standard volume pot with an alps item. should i just wait and get that too? never understood why differnt volume pots would make a difference...
