    Clarity Cap MR

    Very nice capacitor. I just put one (in each channel) in my tweeter crossover (simple third order electrical) in place of a Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil. Ahhhhhh.....THAT's what I was missing!!! And it's less expensive to boot. :banana: While I can imagine the system/tweeter/person that might prefer the Mundorf, I think the Clarity Cap is more neutral.

    surprising that it could substitute mundorf silver/oil. for even a cheaper alternative, you might wanna give epcos oil filled motor run caps a try...

      Mundorf caps are over rated.

          could you describe main defferences in scene, imaging, hights, midrange, dynamics.

          thank you indeed.

            I'm not a past user of the Mundorf Silver/oil caps, so I can't comment to that.

            If you're interested in more information about the Clarity MR, I'd recommend reading the white paper- it used to be on Madisound, and I have it downloaded, but online the easiest way to get it may be on this page.

                IMO, the MR is better overall. The S/O has softer dynamics and is less transparent. Where the MR's excel in comparison are better imaging, soundstage(spacial cues), transparency, and dynamics.

                  thank you face,
                  well now i am very happy with silver oil, i reach perferct balanced sound in my system.
                  i always be faschinated by claritycap MR.
                  i would give a chance to MR, but will they give me most pronunciated trebles, due the better transparency ?
                  i would don't have harsh trebles.
                  i like the liquidity and soft trebles of the silver oil, so with MR do this change ?

                    I wouldn't call the MR hash sounding, neutral would be a better description IMO. If it is harsh, it's due to what your other caps were hiding or colouring.

                        agreed. supreme does have that magic tone but it's also sluggish sounding.
