We have to make the following clear when we match the copper foil/Mylar in oil capacitors, this is done at room temperature. So, we are now able to offer a matching service at £2.00 per capacitor, order code: CAP-MATCH. We are getting an increasing number of requests for the delivery of matched pairs of both copper and silver foil capacitors, which in combination with increased use of matched pairs in the production of M6 Phono and M8 Phono pre-amplifiers has made it necessary to invest in a calibrated instrument for testing large numbers of capacitors. It is our experience that the Audio Note (UK)™ capacitors perform best when the start of the foil is "facing" the incoming signal. So there you are, you don't get something for nothing!Īs you can see from the above pictures, each of our signal capacitors is marked with a line on the right this marks the start of the foil. The initial experiments with oil impregnated Mylar were not sonically satisfactory, so we experimented with changing the construction to oil filled, the materials sealing the capacitor and the way we connect the foil ends to the lead out wires and voila! After some running in, the new Mylar/oil filled capacitors actually sound better in most respects than the previous generation of paper signal caps, the only real drawback is that they take nearly twice as long to run in and sound quite a bit worse than the old paper/oil type when they are new. We suspect that the cause has to do with subtle changes in the chemistry of the paper, the oil or some other key part of the caps, possibly due to new environmental requirements imposed on the production of the paper, but who knows? Anyway, when it became obvious that we were unable to fully establish and rectify the cause, we decided to try Mylar. When truth be told we have been experiencing increasing problems with the failure rate of our paper in oil capacitors over the past 3 to 4 years, and despite a major research program into the causes of this increasing break down rate we have really come up with a blank. eBay is not affiliated with or endorsed by Audio Note.Why did we move to oil filled Mylar from oil impregnated paper? Ventilation: The units have both active and passive ventilation through the housing.Ĭontent provided for informational purposes only.
