Other developments include greatly improved core materials, the super permalloy and the 55% Nickel cores, both of which have been improved by studying and improving the heat treatment processes over and beyond what is possible with standard heat treatment processes, again a sizeable investment both in time and money. Well, in our search over the past 20 years for sonically better materials we have, at considerable cost, travelled to specialist exhibitions all over the world, and visited manufacturers to try to find partners able and willing to work with us to investigate and develop processes that result in improved sonic performance, you see some of the results here, in the development done in close collaboration with Rubycon of the Audio Note™ range of Electrolytic capacitors, the hand wired KAISEI especially all of which are currently the premier electrolytic audio capacitor available or the highly specialised silver alloy used to make the non-magnetic Tantalum/Silver and the processes, sputter target depositing of resistive layer, the development of silver to silver welding for example, below is a picture of the sputter target machine used for our Tantalum resistors sitting at the back, Audio Note spent over $ 50,000.00 restoring this machine just to be able to hear whether sputter targeting produced a better sounding resistor or not, fortunately it did! Sign showing entry road to Rubycon’s Headquarters, many a time have we passed here! The result is an electrolytic capacitor of exceptional quality and price, suitable for use in any high voltage power supply Audio application.Īs they become available, the Standard Audio Note (UK)™ Electrolytic Capacitors will be introduced in all Audio Note(UK)™ finished products from Level Zero through to the lower Level Three (the power supplies of the higher Level Three products along with the Silver and Silver Signature models will be equipped with the KAISEI electrolytic capacitors).Ī range of low voltage capacitors using the same materials and construction has also been developed, which allows us to offer a wide selection of competitively priced, high quality electrolytic capacitors under the Audio Note(UK)™ brand. They achieve this excellent level of performance by combining a high quality electrolyte with the best available standard paper and a specially developed foil.
In this solid state amp Toshin capacitor was close but somewhat convex trebble was too much for my liking on that amp.The Audio Note™ Standard Electrolytic CapacitorsĮven though these capacitors represent the starting level in our new range, we have found them to provide considerably better sound quality than any other currently available high voltage electrolytic capacitor, from any manufacturer. I am looking for more organic, forgiving but still with good resolution and tone.
AUDIO NOTE CAPACITORS REVIEW SERIES
My AN DAC already have BG N but, this is interesting comparsion, why not.īut my question is still same does anybody compare Kaisei to standart series AN caps? Ofcourse I will order several and try in every position some day this standart, but there so many ideas to try, so if someone tell me its (standart AN) nearly same tone, so i will be not try further. I do belive it could be very good in cathode bypass, i will check one day, maybe next week. Last time i do recap for Sansui amp and i was try one there, and it was again this like. it was never boring but somewhat obsessive. There was very wide selection of capacitors to compare and I can balance from other side of that amp with film caps (near every cap from SU to modern PP, oil, teflon, mylar with any foil or metalization virtually every available, i have 20 of them or more and have expirience) so i could balane with film cap on another side, but it was never sound right when you listen carefully, but really best resolution and rhytm, i was not tried black gate there but so many. Later it was big shot-out on coupling cap for headphome amp and it was nearly same but more influence on sound. Its long story to talk about, and with great pleasure i will tell you.įirst time i do try to use kaisei in the power supply and it was slight bright highmidrange highlighted. Did you have any? (with this parts) or you are kind of spectator looking for elses expirience rather than share yours. That pretty default state of talks on forum.
