Hi Leo,

IMO, the MKP2000s wipe the floor with Wimas as output coupling capacitors. I hope you'll feel the same way

Cheers,

I'll let you know how I find the MKP2000 if/when I can get hold of them

Just been listening to the dac tonight , got to admit some tracks really blow my bloody socks off I've got the XO, VD and core regs to upgrade yet

Sweet! How does Buffalo II + Legato compare to your modified Buffalo 32s? Which one do you like better?

Edit: I just received confirmation from ucc audio. The ebay seller is an authorized dealer, so it's 100% okay

Hi Alex,

I've not heard back from UCC yet but thanks for finding out that the ebay shop is an authourized seller

BII + Legato is getting closer to modded B32, I still prefer the B32 in some ways but hopefully that will change after BII's XO, VD and core regs are replaced, oh and I've tried those caps BII doesn't quite have that flow the modded B32s has YET

Hi Leo,

What are "those caps"? The MKP2000s? How did they magically appear on your Legato?

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

I mean't the performance may be improved further after I have replaced the Wima's with the new caps (MKP2000)
Sometimes I type too quickly and it don't make much sense


Cheers,
Leo

Hi Leo,

It would make alot more sense if "I've tried" were removed from the sentence

By the way, have you heard from ucc? Perhaps you should try ebay if he's being lazy

Edit: Earlier in this thread, you mentioned that you don't like signal transformers. Do you mind sharing the reasons? Don't worry, I'm just curious, no heavy objects coming your way :P

Hi Alex,

have you been able to compare the MKP2000s to other caps, e.g. Solens, Sonicaps, Ansars, etc? I've got a couple of 47uF MKP2000s knocking around that I've not found a use for yet. May use them in my crossovers.

Hi Alex,

Still no email from UCC so I've just ordered 4 x 10uf 100v from the ebay link.

Hi Dan,

I never knew 47uF MKP2000s existed! Are you referring to the 47uF Fast Power caps from the same company, or are those custom made?

Never tried MKP2000/Fast Power in crossovers, so I can't really help you there. I do know that they work well in power supplies though. Maybe you can use them in a tube amp!

Cheers,
