New Cu foil caps: Miflex

I think bypass caps are very much a touch and go thing. Truth is we don’t have a good understanding of why they sound the way they do.


It IS considered good engineering practice to bypass caps in circuits to achieve ideal capacitance. Low ESR and low inductance at the same time. Especially useful to be frugal and put a lot of Farads into small spaces, but these values alone don't really explain what I've heard in caps.


In speakers I’ve had very good luck bypassing 5uF and larger from Clarity with copper film caps. Really very very good.

However smaller Clarity caps have no benefit there. They seem pretty close to ideal.

The Audyn's in the values I need are at the top of the price bracket.


For what I'll need to spend I'd rather think about Jupiter or Duelund.

Maybe I should try the 0.1uF Audyn True Silvers as bypass caps? I'm currently using True Copper and they work really nicely.
