In Reply to: RE: Fire hazard with unrated caps. posted by Al Sekela on February 11, 2009 at 14:37:50
Is there a particular model # and brand that is recommended for audio.
Are you using them in pairs like with the Auricap caps ?

I am also interested in knowing of a recommendation (brand & part number) for good sounding x rated caps. I've been using Auricaps for the past 4+ years.

Another inmate recommended them and I've compared them against polyester, polyethylene, and ceramic suppression caps in various AC noise filters. I have a friend with a better system than mine and much better hearing. He agrees with my preference.
The Wima caps are available from Mouser and Farnell (Newark), as well as from TTI in larger quantities. Note that Mouser has a mistake in their catalog listing, as they call the MP3 Polypropylene. They are the correct metallized paper, as I've confirmed by purchasing some.
These caps do not use magnetic leads. Many raw parts have plated steel leads to allow automatic handling, and the steel wire is not good for audio. These caps also have epoxy encapsulation, and do not have strong acoustic body resonances.
Thanks Al. I will check out the Wima caps.
