It seems indeed to be a big controversial topic on diyaudio and audioasylum. I just found a place that has paper in oil caps 1uF/200V at 1.2€ a piece. Pretty cheap, I'll take a shot at it and hear for myself.
Originally posted by Prune 00940, I have read on several places that while capacitors such as the paper in oil or the Audionote copper or silver foils are more euphonic than the rest, that is due to the type of coloration they add to sound, and that polypropylenes such as the MIT Multicaps and the Audience Auricaps (and their solid lead predecessors, the Sidereal caps) are the most neutral and transparent. The latter two are also much cheaper, but still not exactly cheap. |
