in the pf range you are pretty much stuck with micas if you can't find the value you need in polystyrene

actually some wisdom there
for some unknown to me reason 600V poly caps sound better than 200V poly caps
nothing blatant but it is there in the note separation during low level passages
again , i have no idea why
another point i should add
Just me but i do not use low value bypass caps on large value capacitors
even electrolytics
for the same reason i do not like multicaps
Something just not right about the so called "capacitor crossover" where the circuit speed of exit is different for each capacitor which is a different frequency range
i don't want the high notes coming through faster than the low notes
No, Mica is not really "expensive" (by the way you can get it in Lee's electronics, just next to Main electronics) but it does cost 10x as much as an equivalent polypropylene. The bigger problem for me is that it's considerably larger than polypropylene for the same capacity. |
