How good are Nichicon capacitors?
Nichicon is a reputable company, so their audio capacitors are probably no worse than any others in their intended applications. I would, however, be wary of the more exotic brands that make only audio parts and don’t use the normal electronic component distributors (Farnell, Mouser, etc).
Are audio capacitors worth it?
A: Not really. A cap prevents the sound from deteriorating due to under-voltage, but doesn’t actually improve the sound. It supports the amplifier by feeding it the power it needs for short bursts. So, while not improving sound quality directly, a cap does make it easier for the amp to perform its best.
Are electrolytic capacitors good for audio?
It is certainly the best choice on electrolytic capacitors for top end devices. Good sound for classical, baroc, jazz and modern music. Standard capacitors (like Sprague) still good choice for standard audio devices. It sounds better than inadequate low ESR capacitors.
Do speakers need capacitors?
Without capacitors, crossovers could not function properly. The job of capacitors is to allow only the high frequencies to pass. The inductor (also known as a coil or choke) assumes the opposite task by letting only the low frequencies pass. It does this by storing energy in magnetic instead of electrical form.
Where are Nichicon capacitors made?
| 1999 | |
| JUL. | Established Ohmachi Factory(now called NICHICON HI-TECH FOIL CORPORATION,OHMACHI FACTORY) in Ohmachi, Nagano Pref. and Tomita Factory(now called NICHICON HI-TECH FOIL CORPORATION,TOMITA FACTORY) in Ohno, Fukui Pref. for production of aluminum electrode foils for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. |
Which capacitors are the best?
Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer the highest stability and lowest losses. They have high tolerance and accuracy and are more stable with changes in voltage and temperature. Class 1 capacitors are suitable for use as oscillators, filters, and demanding audio applications.
