Super PP capacitor (SPP) MKP 400VDC – 5% tolerance

Super PP capacitor (SPP) MKP 400VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications (according to manufacturer): 5 layers Composite dielectric, Super low DF.

Sound: First of all they need a much longer burn-in time than most capacitors, in the beginning they are rather aggressive. After burn-in I still find the top-end over-etched which gives it a slightly artificial treble. They are well detailed but I find the midrange a little under exposed, maybe they would work well in a dull sounding speaker. Spatiality is good, probably due to the highlighted top-end but only average separation. I find them similar in character to the Evox Rifa PHE-450. They also benefit a lot from a paper-in-oil bypass capacitor. For their low price they perform well.

Verdict: 7,5
