In Reply to: RE: Parafeed caps, who needs them? posted by Ivan303 on June 09, 2023 at 08:00:11
Parafeed should be viewed as a low-cost item only, but here's
what one can do-- Easy to solve. Start with a 4uf Dynamicap.
Parallel it with Dynamicap .68uf, .33uf, .22uf, .068uf, .033uf
and .01 uf.You might still need a large-value cap to start with-- how about
a Genteq paper-in-oil refrigeration (motor-run) Cap? Genteq,
NOT other brands!Watch max. voltage swings in your parallel caps--- don't
override a capacitor.Values in between these may also be experimented with, the
object being to attain a wideband, linear overall response.Trash nearly all Solen products if you like music.
Don't forget Mundorf silver/oils or silver/gold oils,
which are both excellent. Certain WIMA flat-pack caps
are also very good. The Wimas that work are the smallest
physically for the same uf value, and voltage rating.Why? Wima uses more expensive THINNER dielectrics where
a high voltage rating must be attained, but also, the cap
has to be physically small. Motto? HIGH voltage rating,
SMALL cap-- for the same value. Wima makes anything you
can dream-up. SOME of these are GREAT! Others? NOPE!There you are. Arm yourself with an assortment of these
4 outstanding cap brands, and proceed. Your reward is
more better music!-Dennis-
