Clarity Cap MR MKP 630VDC – 3% tolerance

Clarity Cap MR MKP 630VDC – 3% tolerance

Technical Specifications (according to manufacturer): “The MR range of capacitors is the result of an extensive ground
breaking 2 year research programme into audio grade capacitors. The resulting capacitor is, we believe, at the leading edge of today’s high quality audio grade capacitors. The component is manufactured in such a way to substantially reduce the negative effects of resonance on sonic quality which is inherent in a wound component. This results in a sonic characteristic which is difficult to equal. Manufactured from metallised polypropylene film the component is housed in a coloured acrylic tube and encapsulated in an epoxy resin to assist in the overall sonic performance. ”

Sound: Like the Clarity Cap DTAC, the Clarity Cap MR doesn’t have that rounded character of the standard Clarity Caps and sounds in comparison very spatial and clear. Spatiality is one of the main strengths of this capacitor supported by very good separation of the individual instruments and vocals. They are placed before a very quiet background with lots of detail making retrieval of ambient information like the natural reverberation of a concert hall easily distinguishable. Compared to a Mundorf Silver-Gold-Oil they are ultimately a little less transparent, presenting the information more up-front with a slight focus on the lower treble range. The Mundorf SGO has a slight focus on the upper treble range.

Verdict: 11
