I received the K75-10 at 4.7uF yesterday.
I told myself that I would not try them but who was I kidding...
As a size, they are the same length with the 10uF ones (10cm), but half in diameter (~2.5cm)
I soldered them directly replacing the 10uFs keeping the 0.1uF FT3 and 10nF SGM bypasses, so that I made a direct comparison to the sound I already liked.
First impression was that bass was thin. Granted, going half in capacity means one octave less bass... Ok it was a bit of a stretch going for the ~7Hz optimal bass that the big ones give (22K input impedance on my monoblocks). The 4.7s give ~15Hz optimal.
However part of the thinness is surely due to the recent soldering and fresh caps. This effect usually goes away in a day or two, so I will be back with this.
Now on the sound...
I do not know if it is because of the less deep bass, but I feel that i got a very obvious improvement in clarity.
On top of that, there were two areas that I did not like. First the bass had more lower end and no punch, no impact. With the 4.7uF I am starting to get some of this impact back. This is especially obvious in higher bass frequencies. For example when a guitarist hits his guitar.
The second part was that in some cases mids and mid-highs had a dark quality. On that, I tended to attribute it to the recording since in other occasions the sound was fine. But with the 4.7uF all I can say is WOW... strings, pianos and guitars are now what I know them to be... for lack of a better word I want to say fresher? Damn I hate to love those audio-phool words
It is weird how when something is objectively or subjectively impressive you keep making excuses for it....
Anyway, I really miss the bass for now... I hope it comes back...
