Evox-Rifa SMR 63VDC – 10% tolerance

Technical Specifications: “ Metallized polyphenylene sulphide. Construction: polyphenylene sulphide film capacitor with vacuum-evaporated aluminium electrodes. Radial leads of tinned wire are electrically welded to the contact metal layer on the ends of the capacitor winding. Encapsulation in self-extinguishing material meeting the requirements of UL 94V-0. Typical applications: automotive and other applications with high ambient temperatures; applications requiring high stability and low losses; offers excellent sound quality in audio applications.”

Sound: Very compact little capacitor that sounds slightly on the bright side of neutrality. It is clearer than a Clarity Cap APW or PWA for example and has a reasonably wide image but lacks depth. So the sound stage is good in left to right positioning but poor in front to back placement, rather 2D. Its sonic character is quite close to that of the polyester Vishay MKT1822. The nice compact build designed for use on PC's can be the reason why one may prefer it above other low priced brands.

Verdict: 6
