Jantzen Audio Standard Z-Cap MKP 400VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications: metallized polypropylene film, “special winding techniques”. Loss ang. Tan = 0.0002 for 1kHz / 1uF

Sound: Like the Intertechnik Audyn Cap QS they lack clarity and sophistication. Even after extensive burn-in they still stay rather closed-in. But at least they don’t have that “mushy” sound the Audyn Cap QS has and their tonal balance is reasonably neutral. They do emphasise “S” and “T” sounds a little, so don’t use them in the signal path! Due to their low cost they are ideal for parallel capacitors in the low-pass of a woofer for example where in low budget systems electrolytics are often found. They are nicely compact in size, so they can turn out handy when space is critical.

Verdict: 6,5
