The Audio Note™ audio signal capacitors is the best and most competitive range of audio signal capacitors available by some considerable way. As a result of the continued popularity of Audio Note signal capacitiors, we have become directly involved in material purchase during production, buying in a quarter of a ton of the copper and silver foil at a time. This means a great saving in production costs and excellent guarantees in material purity, thus you are assured you can buy a premium audio grade component at reasonable cost. As a result of these savings we felt it slightly redundant to continue the production of aluminium and tin foil capacitors. Additional improvements have been made in tighter production tolerances plus the fact that the new caps are encased in copper instead of aluminium, glass or plastic.
The new copper and silver foil signal caps is available in a range that is specifically targeted at the single-ended triode amplifier market, although most values will also be usable in other types of valve amplification.
Our specially made paper/oil caps have a life, colour, lack of harshness and evenness of dynamic behaviour across the frequency range. Recommended as replacements in old and new valve amplifiers alike (and even in the odd transistor amplifier), and essential for DIY projects. In line with environmental standards, all AUDIO NOTE™ paper in oil capacitors contain only non-toxic, biodegradable vegetable oil, the paper is a specially treated and impregnated by a method that enhances longevity and sound quality, to ensure optimum performance all round.
The larger value capacitor are also suitable for either speaker crossovers or power supply applications. Those above and including 75mm in length are very heavy and should be mounted with suitable care to prevent the lead out wires breaking in transport.
Note well, that the body of these components are conductive and will effectively short two points that touch the body, so in some cases you may have to insulate the component with insulating material such as electricians tape.
New to the range are the Audio Note™ Tin Foil Signal Capacitors. These are 100% tin foil capacitors, the line is tin foil with a mylar dielectric in an aluminium can with 1 mm solid silver legs. These offer an affordable alternative to the copper and silver foil types.
Our signal capacitors are marked with a line on the right of the component`s body, this marks the start of the foil. It is my experience that the Audio Note™ sound the best when the start of the foil is "facing" the incoming signal, see the drawing below.
