capacitor question?

[RothwellAudio]

Polyprops are what you need for best, take my word for it

I think he already has polypropylene caps in there

However, if I understand this thread correctly the OP seems to have decided they're no good because they're too cheap.

No, I can't find any useful data about them, unlike others (elna, black gate, nichicon, solen, wima, vishay, panasonic etc.) that have been endorsed somewhere, also Cary themselves recommended that I 'roll them out', it was they who said that they look cheap and nasty. Like you I believe things like Mundorf are superior! Would you use Monacor or Mundorf and why? I believe you have already intimated your personal preference in an earlier post? I.M.O. I do believe there are better quality products out there!

I don't fully agree with that.

Replacing electrolytics with polyprops doesn't always improve the sound and can quite often do the reverse.

The guy said to avoid Tantalum capacitors but I've tried just about everything In the feedback loop of my Onix OA21 amp and Tantalums sound better than anything (low leakage types sound best to my ears).

Look Inside a lot of high-end amps and you'll often see they are full of electrolytic capacitors without a single large value polyprop In sight.

Hi Matt!

..yes, its funny, the more I read on the internet the more I realise its a 50/50% 'split' of opinion for and against all kinds of 'mods', for everything that is suggested there is always someone will a counter argument in disagreement - LOL
