TRT Wonder DynamiCap MKP 210VDC – 5% tolerance

Technical Specifications: “DynamiCap includes special rugged wrap and a construction with metal end caps, and individually hand soldered 19 gauge silver clad copper wonder wire leads. DynamiCap boasts a virtual infinity of parallel paths through the plates, from input to output. More importantly these parallel paths are virtually the same length as one another, so all parts of the input signal arrive simultaneously at the output terminal.” Physically they are very lightweight compared to other brands of similar size.

Sound: Their name does describe them a bit: they have a wide dynamic range and sound “fast” and “quiet” - dynamics are nice and snappy, but at the same time they are not very subtle or delicate, they seem to grab attention and run away with it. Now I do find dynamics to be one of the most important factors in the aim to reproduce recorded music in a lifelike manner, but the DynamiCaps seem to lack coherency and make the music nervous and therefore fatiguing – not relaxing at all. At first they are impressive but soon they become distracting and get you listening to things like transparency, transients and detail instead of listening to the music! Use them if you want to spice things up a bit, some might call them revealing, I find them grainy. Also imaging is a little compromised, compared to a Clarity Cap PX they sound a little on the flat side, a Clarity Cap PX has more space and depth. They do form a nice upgrade from standard quality MKP’s and work better as a midrange capacitor than a capacitor in the signal-path of the tweeter, but considering their price, there are many alternatives out there with a more neutral approach to music.

Verdict: 7,5
