Dayton DMPC-20 20uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
Just swapped out all the old caps in my old altec model 19's. Great improvement over the 30 year old caps. If you have good old speakers take the time to tune them up with good caps.

|
Dayton DMPC-4.7 4.7uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
these things are a steal. As good as anything under $10.00. Not as smooth as high end caps but much, much better than anything near its price.

|
Dayton DFFC-0.47 0.47uF 400V By-Pass Capacitor
Quality and performance equals or exceeds many higher cost audio caps. They look good too.

Audiocap PPT Theta 0.10uF 600V Film/Foil Capacitor
I use these (.1uF) as bypass caps to some Jantzen poly caps (33uF). Basically replicating the stock set-up on some Magnepan speakers. After replacing some Dayton film & foil caps with these, high frequency stuff, cymbals/triancles/snares/etc came through clear as a bell. Maggies are alot more revealing than your average DIY speaker and quasi-ribbon tweeters WILL reveals things other tweeters don't.
YMMV

Dayton DMPC-100 100uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
if you need high values and want to stay away from electrolitic caps, these are a great buy! At high values the tolerance is not as important so you can get away with the 10%. If you had to go 40Uf or lower i would go wtih a cap of at least 5% values less that 20 i would recomend 3% less than 10 and I would go 1%.

Dayton DMPC-12 12uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
These are definitely better than the Solen's at near the same price. They are more detailed, extended smooth highs, and have a nicer vocal sound to them. There are better caps out there, but at this price they are a real solid choice. Symbols, and snares sustain much better than with Solen's. Nice full sound too.

Dayton DMPC-4.0 4.0uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
If your looking for high end performance in the high end , you need to look no further , dayton caps are incredible.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-40 40uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
To be priced a bit cheaper than the popular name brand of Solens- these are nice caps. I could tell no audible differance between these and the Solens!
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-25 25uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I had thought for the longest time that a capacitor was a capacitor and the differences that (audiophiles) hear was imagined, but its not. I havent tried the real high end caps yet but there is quite an audible difference from an electrolytic capacitor and these.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-3.3 3.3uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
For Pro Sound and Commercial Sound passive crossover use these caps are the best choice. More cost than electrolytic but these have much better tolerance, pass audio cleanly and are very reliable. And these perform just as good in most all audio applications than more expensive poly/film caps. Excellent value!
|

|
Dayton DMPC-0.22 0.22uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
These capacitors were just the ticket. They work great. I expect my purchases from Parts Express to be just what I need and they've never let me down.

|
Audiocap PPT Theta 0.01uF 600V Film/Foil Capacitor
I installed a pair of these as a bypass for the Dayton capacitors on the EMITs of my Infinity QLS1s. I don't really understand the theory, but it seems to have cleaned up the highs (didn't think they needed to be cleaned up before, either). No artificial "sparkle." It's a cheap tweak at $10 for these, and I recommend giving it a shot. If your speakers and electronics aren't pretty darn good, though, you might not notice any improvement at all.
|

Dayton DFFC-0.10 0.10uF 400V By-Pass Capacitor
Can't beat the price. Quality and performance equal or exceed many higher cost audio caps.

Dayton DMPC-50 50uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
Excellent neutral sound quality when used in my output transformer-less tube headphone amp. Maybe not quite as nice as my oil filled caps, but close, very close, and much smaller and cheaper in comparison. For the price, this is an excellent high fidelity product. Very pleased.

Dayton DMPC-6.8 6.8uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I had to replace a cap on my B&W speakers crossover so I figured why not spend a little (and I do mean a little) bit more for some poly caps. I figured that these would be more durable than the electrolytic bi-polars that where in there. Well, I gave the speakers a listen with the old caps on a really nice Count Basie (sp?) CD (I had replaced the blown cap with a stray electrolytic bi-polar). This helped me determine that the left and right sounded similiar. Then I updated one speaker and listened to them side by side. What a difference! The old speaker sounded like it had a mud filter on it while the newly upgraded one sounded much clearer in the higher frequencies!
A worthy upgrade.
Now I'm running around the house to see what other speakers I can upgrade.
I've always enjoyed mid-high end (not esoteric$$) gear but have been skeptical about things like cables and caps. I'm convinced about caps; cables not so much so.

Jantzen 22uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
These caps are a good value and perform well. They also have some values that other companies do not offer.

Solen 10uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Short of those "boutique" caps these are a very good upgrade name brand cap. I restore speakers and reccomend these to all my customers for a good upgrade cap- YES you can hear the differance of these over a typical electrolytic type too!!

Jantzen 15uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I did a x-o mod for my Maggie MMG's using some Allied paper-in-oil caps combined with some Jantzen Z-Superior caps. Honestly, it sounded a little flat. I'd used CrossCaps before so went back to them. The Jantzen CrossCap/Z-Superior combo promptly smoked the Allied/Z-Superior combo. If their lowest priced caps are this good, I'd love to see what their expensive ones will do.

Kimber Kap 1.0uF 200V Capacitor
I used a full set of Kimber Kaps for a restoration project in the signal path of a reciever Very good value for the money I would use them again. The sound is quite natural and uncolored as compared to factory stock and as good as or better than most caps I've heard for this application at a very reasonable price.

Jantzen 3.9uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I used these in a 2 way with a 6.5" vifa, and a morel dome tweeter, in a linkwitz riley 12db per octave crossover (2500HZ). Very nice sound. At first I thought they emphasized "s" sounds, but after further listening I realized that i was wrong. It was a particular recording with the "s" emphasis, not the capacitors. They are suprisingly smooth sounding, very musical, yet amazingly detailed. I've tried many other caps including Clarity caps SA, Auricaps, Dynamicaps, Hoviland, Solens, Bennics, and others. The Jantzen cross caps seem to be right up there with the Clarity caps and Auricaps (which are my favorites).Tremendous bang for the buck! Buy them.

Solen 5.1uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Crisp, bright top end is my initial impression. Took about 10 minutes to NOT sound horrible. I've got about 10 hours on them now and they display good attack characteristics and clear upper midrange (crossed at 4 K w/ 5uf) but still a little bright so I really think the 100 hours break in I've heard about is accurate. Lacking some depth of image but this is also probably a break-in issue. Check audio asylum for pics of application on old retro GE speakers (look under Supercool! in Vintage Asylum). Amazing what a good cap and re-wire can do to an older el cheapo speaker.

Jantzen 56uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
Used these in combination with some high power resisters, in a Zobel network for 3 sets of new PA speakers. Speakers turned out great, so no complaints!

|
|
Jantzen 6.8uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
for the price, it's a really good cap. I would rank it close to a solen.
|
|
|
Jantzen 8.2uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I much prefer the sound of this cap as a replacement for the Unicon non-polar electrolytics in Advents and other vintage speakers over the Dayton film caps which are slightly veiled, and the Solens, which are too bright. The result is a clear, open quality that's very smooth and natural sounding. I also bypassed the Jantzens with 0.1 uF metallized polyester film caps, which also helps.
|
|
|
Jantzen 82uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I had been using non-polarized electrolytics as a 1st order high pass filter. I was using 69uf of cap to keep the bass out of my midrange coaxes. I bought these as a lark to see if there was any truth to the idea that high-end expensive caps actually make your speakers sound better.
I was blown away. These were about$20 and WELL worth every penny. Instead of muddy distorted vocals I suddenly hear crystal clear mids and highs, and no bass at all in the 3.5" speakers!
|
|
Dayton DFFC-0.01 0.01uF 400V By-Pass Capacitor
The only problem I have with these is that the leads are steel unlike the larger values in this series which are copper. Not the biggest deal, but it's enough to prevent me from ever using them in the future.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-1.0 1.0uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I used this as a bypass for the electrolytic HV filter cap on my tube amp and it performs great. I like the higher voltage rating and the cost is much lower than most caps at their quality point. I have used Dayton caps in the past and will use them again.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-33 33uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I have an old pair of Optimus 5 speakers from the 70's. They were barely reproducing any sound. What did come out hurt my ears. I recapped them of with a set of these Dayton's. Now they really sing! WOW! The imaging is awesome. I'm sure these speakers ever sounded this good, not even out of the box.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-7.5 7.5uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
Thanks. We amateur DIY speaker builders need these quality components. These caps definitely improve the sound of the mids and highs. They are clear and clean. Thanks.

Dayton DMPC-75 75uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
Great value polypropylene caps. I used them in a crossover. A vast improvement on the electrolytics they replaced.

Dayton DMPC-8.2 8.2uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
There Are No Doubt Better Caps That Can Be Used For Your Next Speaker Project, But These Caps Can And Do Fill The Job Position Quite Nicely.
I Used These Caps For The Tri Trix Project And They Do The Job Just Fine!

|
|
Jantzen 0.10uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
While I don't consider these high-end, at the performance/ appearance/ physical size price break they are way suitable for new electronic construction (coupling)as well as refurb, including speakers. Hard to believe anything this decent could evolve from the current primordial Eurostew.
|
|
|
Jantzen 0.68uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
Nice quality caps good for upgrading cheaper crossovers or designing your own.
If the best caps are an 'A' these are a strong 'B'.
Great value!
|
|
|
Jantzen 1.0uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
This is a great cap, I've tried the Solen, Kimber Wima and others. This cap is much better at playing music. It's very smooth, detailed and 3D. Way better than the Kimber. The Kimber was nasty sounding. Very hard sounding.
|
|
|
Jantzen 12uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I used these capacitor when I built my last crossovers and they are a high quality product for a budget price. The sound is good and and they are very easy to solder without getting them too hot. They have a pretty neutral sound and you aren't going to get much better sound for the money. Highly recommend for your next audio project.

Dayton DMPC-5.1 5.1uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor

|
|
Dayton DMPC-30 30uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I have been told I have the golden ear. Never thought I'd be impressed by a cap. You have to try these out yourself. The difference was Extraordinary. Just looking around online, these were the best value of any high end caps I've seen. And what a difference they made compared to the cheap caps I use to fine tune my designs. This will be what makes you project sound so much better than store bought speakers.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-2.2 2.2uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
For the price you get an accurate, affordable and stable xover cap that is available world over. Have used these in hi-power Pro rigs for years with no probs.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-2.7 2.7uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I used these caps to rebuild some Electrovoice stage monitor crossovers. I have already torture tested and they work fine.

Dayton DMPC-18 18uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I used this in a cap replacement for my crossover.
Great improvement over the old 35+ year caps.

A good capacitor then has excellent tollerance!
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-0.10 0.10uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
I was impressed by how physically small this part was. I'm retrofitting a PAS-2 pre-amp. The voltage rating is well spec'd too because one of my tube-sockets had failed and was putting full B+ on the cap and it took it, (about 255v). A 400v dayton cap in a different amp withstands more than 475v on switch-on, which is also very good for Dayton Audio's part (and stupid on my part.)

|
Audiocap PPT Theta 0.22uF 600V Film/Foil Capacitor
This time I used these not only in my crossovers but in my 1988 re-capped Onkyo p304 preamp.After some burn in these caps used as bypass on the 220uf electrolytics helped to smooth out some of the harshness.These replaced all the various Dayton bypass caps.Really cleaned up the sound for me and are clearly a step above the Daytons.They add some color to the sound but in a good way with cleaner bass and smooth treble.These are a great alternative to the Jantzen Z-Superior if you need a smaller diameter cap.
|
|
|
Audiocap PPT Theta 2.0uF 200V Film/Foil Capacitor
The AudioCap Thetas are the best caps I have yet tried in my phono stage. They are very detailed with no grain or glare. Highly recommended.
|
|
|
Audiocap PPT Theta 5.0uF 200V Film/Foil Capacitor
I hooked this capacitor up and switched back and forth between it and an Aeon film foil 1% capacitor of the same value. The AudioCap has a smoother sound than the Aeon which had a more pronounced harshness and plastic sound in the lower mid range of the tweeter frequency. Voices just cam out with a more natural sound. This test was done just with the tweeter in free air. Strictly listening only to the tweeter. In the system it really sounds nice. I totally recommend this cap though the price is a little high. I was also very surprised by the size and heft of it. It feels like it's made of lead and mercury instead of film and foil!
|
|
Kimber Kap 0.022uF 600V Capacitor
This cap comes with very long stranded leads. Only the very ends are tinned, so if you cut it to fit a circuit board, you'll need to flux and tin the ends... Also, because they're stranded instead of solid core, you might have trouble getting them through the hole of a PCB. Also, the color code of the lead insulation is not documented anywhere it seems.
|
|
|
Kimber Kap 0.22uF 450V Capacitor
I used these capacitors on a Marantz rebuild in the sound stages they are a fantastic addition and an excellent value.They put transparency into the music the old caps didn't have. Very reasonable pricing vs. performance.
|
|
|
Jantzen 27uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I don't know why the best electronics parts are made out of the USA, but these capacitors are manufactured very well, and even though they are shipped and taxed as they come into the USA, they are a good deal. The product is manufactured very well.
|
|
|
Dayton DMPC-60 60uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
Great stuff for any x-over refab. Dayton does it pretty darn well. My 80's EAW's are rockin' the free world again.

|
Solen 18uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
I replaced the previous component with the new part. Worked very well in the audio system,
operated near the full sound range with very good results.
|
|

Solen 2.0uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Great replacement parts for my Infinity IRS Beta ribbon crossovers. Performed as good as theoriginal Solen caps. Great service by Pasrt Express
|
|
|
Solen 20uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
This Solen capacitor is an excellent choice for the pre-amp power filter. It gives a smooth response with increased high end detail. Now the amplifier has the sparkle and chime it was designed to produce. It's much better and costs about the same as an electrolytic capacitor of the same capacitance and voltage.
|
|
|
Solen 3.0uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Maybe my ears are bad, but I can't hear enough difference to justify spending more on a cap. These Solen caps dont seem to take much away from the signal. Maybe a 100 dollar mundorf or vcap would be better, but I would rather spend that extra cash elsewhere (i.e. Room Acoustics).
|
|
|
Solen 3.9uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Solen is fairly well known name in audio, so I was pretty confident in these caps from the start. However, I did not expect them to be the quality that they were for the price. These caps are easily comparable to the big names like Mundorf who's caps are FAR more expensive. Definitely a great buy for anyone wanting to get into speaker building.
|
|
|
Solen 30uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
My father turned me onto Solen Capacitors a few years back, being an electrical engineer & audiophile he really does know his stuff. Anway, I'm glad he did, because I haven't looked back since.
For the price & performance they always seem be the best. Definetely worth the $. These were used in conjunction to a 6DB crossover network built for a 3-way Tower Speaker Project. Solid Performer.
|
|
|
Solen 4.3uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Increases product turn-around time with having thses little babies on-hand. Loud Speaker cross-overs are now rebuildable with the availability and affordable cost to both the customer and the service center.
|
|
|
Solen 4.7uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
This was a replacement for an oem, the quality and reliabiliy makes it an idea choice.
|
|
|
Solen 47uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Used this to upgrade my Frazier Model 7 crossover and it made a world of difference...very musical.
|
|
|
Solen 5.6uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
I've used Solen metalized polypropylene caps to replace factory non-polarized electrolytics in several crossovers. The Solens made an obvious improvement in every case. Their low cost makes them my first choice in upgrades over OEM caps.
|
|
|
Solen 6.2uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
Mines are labeled 3% tolerance instead of 5% mentioned in this web page.
The caps seemed to take a while to break-in which was a little more than 100 hours.
I was somewhat disappointed with the sound of my speaker sets before it reached break-in time.
Once broken-in, the sound is more detailed and less muddy.
|
|
|
Jantzen 4.7uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
Jantzen products are all good. On the smaller value caps though, I wish the leads were as long as on the larger value caps. Makes it easier to work with.
|
|
|
Jantzen 5.6uF 400V Crosscap Capacitor
I've built (and repaired) crossovers for many years and when applicable, have always used high grade caps and inductors (coils). These were usually made by Auri-Caps, Kimber or Solen. A few years ago I tried the Janztens and was very pleased with their performance. They sound smoother than the Solens and are more affordable than the brands I listed.

|
Kimber Kap 1.8uF 200V Capacitor
USED THIS PRODUCT FOR AN ADD-ON CONFIGURATION OF A PAIR OF K-94 KLIPSCH HORNS IN SMALL ENCLOSURES, WHICH SIT ON TOP OF MY JBL TOWERS. I STARTED TO BUY THE CHEAPER SOLENS, BUT DECIDED TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE AS I ONLY REQUIRED TWO FOR MY PROJECT. I DON'T REGRET THE MONEY SPENT TO UPGRADE TO A PREMIUM CAP, AS THEY ARE JUST THE TICKET TO SUPER SMOOTH HIGHS FROM A MEDIAN PRICED SPEAKER!!
|
|
|
Kimber Kap 10uF 200V Capacitor
I used these to control frequency to woofers and the result was cleaner bass response.Kimber Kaps are worth the money without spending alot of money.Good upgrade for old electrolytic caps.
|
|
|
Kimber Kap 4.7uF 200V Capacitor
I have not listened to the too long, or let them break-in properly, but they already sound great. Compared to the same value Capacitor in the Dayton DMPC Polypropelene line (which is a good cap too), Immediately I noticed the highs seemed a bit more pronounced, in a good way, and cleaner. Like my headline says, Smooth and Sparkly.
|
|
|
Kimber Kap 5.0uF 200V Capacitor
I used these caps to restore a pair of ESS PS-4 cross overs and was amazed at the clairity.While there are other pricier caps available,these are a very good buy.These don,t color sound and let you hear the music the way the artist intended.
|
|
|
Kimber Kap 5.6uF 200V Capacitor
I have installed these in a speaker crossover along with a 10 UF Kimber Kap. I have tried Sonicap,Solen,Auricap,and bennic. These are by far the best sounding. Clean and warm with plenty of bloom and depth. Never harsh. You can listen all day and no ear fatigue. The others were clean but ranged from unnatural to thin sounding, the Auricaps were much closer to the Kimber, but lacked a little in depth but were a tad more cleaner sounding.

Solen 100uF 400V Poylpropylene Capacitor
Used to replace old caps in Klipshorns. Excellent cap. No complaints.
|
|
|
Solen 7.5uF 400V Polypropylene Capacitor
I am a ESS speaker die hard,I refuse to discard my old speakers so I,m restoring them all slowly and swapped out old electrolytic caps for these solen 7.5 polypropylene caps and once again they truly sound as clear as light.I plan on restoring my Concept CE-1's next.Incidentally they will turn 31 years old in 2 weeks.
|
|
|
Solen 9.1uF 400V Poylpropylene Capacitor
Used these to cross over to some high quality/ high power tweeters. Everything sounds very good. Good dynamic range. Good transient response. Can hear everything. Havn't tested other caps, but not sure any would sound better.
