Vishay Sprague 730P MKP 250VDC – 10% tolerance

Technical Specifications: “High Frequency, wrap-and-Fill, metallized polypropylene; excellent AC performance; low power dissipation; low dielectric absorption; close tolerance; high stability”

Sound: They remind me a bit of a Hovland Musicap or Dynamicap: 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. 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 if you know what I mean. Use them if you want to spice things up a bit. Imaging is quite good and they do form a nice upgrade from standard quality MKP’s but work better as a midrange capacitor than a capacitor in the signal-path of the tweeter.

Verdict: 8
