alfcat,
generally electrostatic cap (film cap) has lower loss, faster response than electrolytic (e-cap). Unfortunately, film cap has low capacitance. for >10uF its size will be quite large. so for >10uF normally will use ecap except in speaker where speaker got more space to allocate it.
In powre section noramally 47uf/100uF and so on is use, thus ecap is always the 1st choice (size).
In power side, here my own opinion (for the cap i had use)
1) BG- high detail, high resolution, soilid bass, sound neutral/slightly thin but musical, low noise BUT expensive.
2) Jensen - warmer than BG, elna & bhc, but less detail than BG, so
fter bass , good for those vocal lover. Jensen 2pole warmer than jensen 4pole.
3) BC- slightly blur & less detail than than BG, warmer than BG but not as warm as jensen. Bass elastic -->softer than BG but more elastic than jensen.
4) Elna cerafine/silmic- less detail, higher noise than BG. bass quantity ok but fat & soft.
5) rubycon zl -- high detail n resolution at hf but harsh & thin. suite those dark old system. not suit those vocal lover.
6) ROE - soft , warm & elastic but less detail/resolution (another choice of warm vocal)
For power side, my personal 1st choise is BG, 2nd choice is either jensen or BC depend on system.
for dull/dark system which is lack of blur & too warm, BG & rubycon(cheaper choice) is suitable.
For too anlytical (very high detail/resolution) system then jensen/BC can be a better choice. |
