Amp Ohm FP-CA-AU 630VDC - 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications (according to manufacturer): "Designed for high performance audio systems. Low ESR and low self-inductance. High stability with respect to both temperature and frequency. Ideal for use in loudspeaker crossover networks and valve amplifiers where pure sound is at a premium." Dissipation factor <0·001>

Sound: The Amp Ohm FP-CA-AU is a very neutral sounding capacitor that takes a nice smooth and calm approach to the reproduction of music. I found the balance of the midrange very pleasing letting acoustic instruments keep their natural warm tone. Absolute detail and air isn’t quite up to the level of an Audyn Cap Plus or Mundorf Supreme but it comes very close although they do need some time to open up so don’t judge them fresh out of the box. Spatiality is broad with reasonable depth but if you want “bowling alley” depth go for (the much more expensive) Mundorf Silver/Oil.

Verdict: 8,5
