Clarity Cap PX MKP 250VDC – 5% tolerance

Clarity Cap PX MKP 250VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications (according to manufacturer): “The PX range was developed to address the performance gap between the PW and SA ranges. It is closer to the SA in terms of sonic performance but at a price very similar to the PW range. Since it was introduced, it has made significant inroads into the loudspeaker industry. Constructed from a 250Vdc(6µm) rated film, this component is spindle wound. It is then given a special heat treatment before it has insulated copper terminals hand soldered to give the best possible connection. The inherently low dissipation and dielectric absorption factors of polypropylene allied with excellent mechanical stability results in an extremely detailed sonic performance. The construction also results in a low self-inductance and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and the devices are highly stable with regard to temperature and frequency. Tape and resin colours are flexible with options shown in Custom products. Unless specified, capacitors would be supplied with blue tape and blue resin.”

Sound: The Clarity Cap range has an overall similarity in tonal balance, going up the range you gain clarity and spatiality. I found the PX to be neutral with a slightly warmish presentation. Compared to a standard Mundorf M-Cap the stereo-image is a larger but less spacious than a Mundorf Supreme or Audyn Cap Plus. Clarity is a good step up from the PW and also the M-Cap. The price/quality ratio is very good. I can highly recommend this capacitor if you are looking for a nice, but not too expensive MKP.

Verdict: 8+
