Not sure if you guys have seen the new Mundorf 'EVO'. I ran into it online the other day when I was searching around for something. It seems to test/cost in the same league as the Clarity SA, except they have an oiler that might be a good match for a coupling position. It apparently does mids real good. Kind of like their other oils. Might be a good choice if the Supreme is too pricey in the high values.

For another project I picked up a pair of ClarityCap ESA 630V caps. One is .1uf and the other is .22uf. Yet the .22uf caps are smaller than the .1uf caps. Can anyone explain why that would be the case? I would have expected the opposite. Do you have to use some sort of different/bulkier technology as you get into very small values?

Best,
Adam

Caps do usually get bigger with larger values. Hard to say why a smaller value is actually larger than a larger value of the same cap, unless the larger value cap is lower voltage rating. Might want to ck that. Not that it really matters, but you may have paid for the 650V and got something lower!

Is the small one metalized film and the large one film and foil? Are they both the same plastic?

A quick note.  I received the Clarity Caps while out of town.  Break in will commence tonight or tomorrow.

Be careful with the Claritycap wires. I snapped one off trying to straiten it out. Thankfully Madisound replaced it and the new one is on the way.

Paul,

Nope. Both are polypropylene. As far as I can tell, they are identical in construction and specs, except the 0.1uf caps are bigger than the .22uf caps.

And I'll second the warning on the ESA leads. Happened to me with one of my 100uf caps when I was building my Crack. Since the insulation on the lead was intact (making the break invisible), it took me forever to diagnose the problem...

Best regards,
Adam

Did you measure the caps with a dmm? Maybe one or the other are mislabeled?....Just a thought.

Funny that you ask that.  The Clarity caps I got were two different labels.  Both say Clarity, but one label is tiny compared to the other.  Here is the picture:

My replacement cap showed up yesterday and both are in and running in my S.E.X.  I had to solder on extension wire to get them to reach!
