Softest, smoothest sounding capacitors you've tried?


Since I'm going for a very vintage sound (my preference), what caps have you tried (speakers or coupling) that struck you as super soft and/or smooth sounding (which would include the effect of being very low distortion). Resolution's irrelevant here. I need large values (2.2uF and 3.3uF), so Russian jobbies are out (already tried them years ago -- they were "OK")

Some very nice caps come in lower voltages, so choice depends if they are going to be used in an active circuit, close to tubes or not, or speaker xovers.

Check the avialiable space.

Agree with Erik, and i would add MR’s, both excellent, other option is Jupiter HT beeswax, and at lower cost the Obbligato Gold premium.

rodman99999 is correct also about carbon composition resistors.
