The MPP from xicon we sell are excellent for upgrading or improving your std electrolytics by using them as bypass caps, the principle works for all caps . We have been using this method for over 15 years. the idea is that a small bypass is much better in HF then a large cap be it mkp or other .Currently a popular type is the Vishay MKP 1847, but the MPP is slightly better.

The funny thing with capacitors is that its extremely difficult to measure differences but they can be clearly heard.

The Duelund line of capacitors adheres to the Virtual Stack Foil design. This breakthrough approach pioneered by Mr. Duelund renders all previous attempts at audio capacitors obsolete. The pure metal foil construction along with obsessive measures against microphony enable a level of musical performance previously unfathomable.

All Duelund prices , VSF & Cast Copper & Silver & Alu.
I consider these VSF to be close to the best u can get.

Soundwise, they are precise and have a very warm and pleasant sound signature which is mainly characterised by its softness and yet everything is there, all the finest details just float, no loss of air.

 

Mundorf Silver foil Oil supreme & Silver Gold Oil

Special Mundorf know how. Build from 2 caps wound in opposite direction. the gold version has an improved crystal structure . I personally hear little difference but i do appreciate them immensly.

And the ones without oil are not as good.

Excellent for tube amps and speakers.

For some these are the best and for some these are to uninvolving..

Sonic wise actually very invisible or inaudible, which means you dont hear it.

 

Jensen Alu & Copper en Zilver foil

The big difference with these compared to other caps are that these use real foil and not metalised foil.It makes them heavier and bulkier but u do get a worldclass sound for it.

Extremelay popular for tube amps and in speaker projects especially for horns.

 

For years the only reference available, they set the standard to beat and are still a leader when it comes to sound quality.

The best Hi End polypropyleen cap, and runs also at very high voltage..

Available in silverfoil & gold versions.

Silky soft excellent upgrade for other caps. .
Very sweet tone, extremely pleasant for a polyprop, probably the best of its kind..

Audyn Plus

These belong to the best that IT produced over the years, it set a very high standard for german caps.

Excells in tube applications, and also good for speaker filtering; High voltage.
Sonic very good, rich in detail while very pleasant and never agressive.

Zink folie

MKP with tinfoil, this reduces microphonics and for some reason it also alters sound coloration/

Its a good cap, detailed and very live sounding, actually it has the same effect as changing your whole cabling to silver cables for a fraction of the cost.
Extremely usefull for making tweeters have a bit more bite and more dynamic character.
.
Slight coloring of upper frequencies.
MKP Cross Cap & other polypropyleen types, This is the std that 15 years ago was the reference so still a very good upgrade for a fraction of what they used to cost.
Excellent replacement for older MKT caps, I also replace all Wima and other types by these.
Very usefull for powersupplys cause they are cheap.
Still a good bargain, cause they are soft on the ears, they lack in detail but they dont distort ;)
Black Gate very limited stocks left

A reference made with grafite particles and this is some invention.

a bit like doping ....

Should be used in powersupplys for greatest effect.
Needs a long burn in, cause they tend to be very analytical as they have awesome low noise floor.

Elna Cerafine & Silmic & Oscon

Very large stock of these audiofiele elcos , They have very low distortion and are even suitable as coupling cap in speaker systems.

Magnificient as bypass caps and powersupply caps in audio circuits .
Absolutely better then any polarised or non polarised cap
Warmer sound then black Gate also needs much less burn in time.

Paper in oil MPP Made in Germany

Also Made in Asia types available.

Very nice in powersupplies and as coupling caps in filter networks or as Parafeed high voltage caps.

MPP Xicon & other caps

Excellent as bypass caps and even tone circuit or signal caps..

Have been using these for the past 15years and lately I see that Vishay MKP 1837 is also popular but its the principle that counts

Silver mica cap & MPP caps

Very cheap method to improve any cap in its HF frequency domain..

Also used in tone and in Riaa circuits with great succes.
Excellent in power supplies
Unbelievable how this simply improves the overall peformance of the whole amp.

Mundorf High Voltage elektrolytic caps & other elektrolytic also Jensen 4 pole caps

Jensen 4 pole are a new breed where the ground is separated at the connectors so the capacitor sees his charge and discharge circuit individually and therefore groundloops are broken .
The mundorf high voltage are high quality electrolytics build to high german standard. Low ESR and solid engineering.
