Clarity Cap APW MKP 160VDC – 5% tolerance

Clarity Cap APW MKP 160VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications(according to manufacturer): “Available at ratings of 160Vdc, 250Vdc, 400Vdc and 630Vdc, it offers audio engineers the maximum flexibility when considering components for their circuits. Wound from 4µm, 6µm, 8µm and 10µm metallised film respectively, components can be selected using their slightly differing sonic performances and aspect ratios to give the optimum solution desired. Copper clad steel terminals are standard; however, others are available upon request Tape and resin colours are flexible with options shown in Custom products. Unless specified, capacitors would be supplied with white tape and red resin. ”

Sound: To be honest, I can't hear any difference between the Clarity Cap APW and PWA but that was to be expected, according to Clarity Cap they are the same. I found the APW also to be neutral with a slightly warmish presentation. Compared to the PX there is a loss of detail. The price/quality ratio is very good. I can recommend this capacitor if you are on a tight budget and are looking for a capacitor that doesn't stand-out too much.

Verdict: 7
